The Sandy Springs Farmers Market fills City Green with a welcoming community vibe as local growers and makers share seasonal produce, artisanal foods, fresh-baked treats, and handmade items from a range of vendors.

At Roswell Public Library, retired educator Alice Henry leads a relaxed, hands-on workshop that celebrates the personal touch of handwritten communication.

Battle & Brew teams up with ATLRPG for a weekly tabletop roleplaying meetup that welcomes both newcomers and veteran players. First timers receive a complimentary set of dice, a ready to play character, and friendly guidance to get started. Game Masters and experienced adventurers can look forward to food and drink discounts for GMs and raffle entries for TTRPG prizes, along with plenty of fellow gamers to connect with. The gathering typically begins with casual mingling before groups form and quests get underway, and most sessions last several hours. Players only need to bring themselves since starter materials are provided, while GMs should bring their usual books, minis, and maps, and be ready to share materials and a quick rules overview when running systems other than 5e. All tabletop sessions are organized and managed by the ATLRPG team, while Battle & Brew provides the space, refreshments, and welcoming atmosphere. Sign ups for specific games are available through ATLRPG.

Enjoy a lively, survey-based game night where everyone plays together in teams, inspired by a well-known TV format. This is not a trivia contest. It is designed for players who prefer predicting what the crowd said over recalling facts. Teams can be any size, and each round draws on answers collected from people across Georgia. Because the surveys change daily, success depends on thinking like the majority, which keeps repeat wins difficult and every game feeling fresh.

Preacher Stone brings its hard-driving southern rock to MadLife Stage & Studios for a live performance. The band is known for riff-heavy songs about everyday life, late-night grit, and a confident stage presence that has built a loyal community of fans called the Congregation. Their forthcoming album, By The Horns, channels recent trials and triumphs into raw, 70s-inspired rock, captured at Gat3 Studios in Charlotte with producer and engineer Glenn Tabor, whose credits include Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and Kid Rock. The sessions prioritized feel over polish with minimal overdubs and varied setups to keep the sound bold and unfiltered. The new single, Think By Now, sets the tone with big hooks and a wink at lessons learned the hard way. Led by Ronnie Riddle with Ben Robinson, Darrell Whitt, Jim Bolt, and Wyatt, the group has shared stages across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe with acts such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, and Deep Purple, and previously placed the song Not Today in two seasons of Sons of Anarchy. This event is for ages 15 and up.
