What to do and see in Atlanta, Georgia (GA): The Best Performances

March 8, 2022 Diedre Savory

Atlanta has been dubbed everything from the "capital of the new South" and "the next international city" to "the best place to do business." It's also a great place to visit. Fueled by the prosperity of local mega companies like Coca Cola and Holiday Inn, the prestige of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the energy of young upwardly mobile types who have migrated to the city in droves - Atlanta is on fire. And this time it's a good thing. From world-class restaurants and a myriad of cultural attractions to a hip nightlife and sporting events galore, the city is cosmopolitan in every sense of the word. But Atlanta has also managed to maintain its historic character. Stop by the Atlanta History Center or visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site, a moving tribute to an American icon. Browse through the former home of famous author Margaret Mitchell or pop into the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum for details on the life and times of the former president and his family. Whether you choose modern urban endeavors or old southern pleasures, Atlanta will not disappoint.

Atlanta Magic Theater

After six years of performing the highest-rated show in San Francisco at The Marrakech Magic Theater, two years at the original Atlanta Magic Theater in the Old Fourth Ward, magician and owner Peter Morrison has brought his incredible 75-minute stage show with pre-show close up magic to the Embassy Suites on Centennial Olympic Park. This two-part experience involves close-up and stage magic, mentalism and tons of audience involvement. Cherished memories will be made during Peter’s unique magic and comedy performance! If you wish to enjoy close-up magic before the theater show, we encourage you to come early to our pre-show function area located just around the corner from our Main Theater entrance. During this time, magician Peter Morrison will personally greet you and perform mind-boggling sleight-of-hand magic for your party. Drinks can be purchased from Ruth’s Chris bar on the other side of the atrium and enjoyed during the pre-show and brought into theater at show time.

My sister and I were visiting Atlanta for the first time and we stumbled upon the Magic Show via Google Maps. We bought our tickets immediately because of all the reviews and I’m so happy we did. This show was remarkable and I was absolutely amazed by his stage presence and the show overall. I’d definitely recommend for anyone visiting Atlanta! Great fun for everyone!

Symphony Hall is a classy place for a concert. We've been to a number of concerts here over the years and always have had a good time. (Most recently the band America 1/26/20) Its intimate (1,700 sears), all seats have good sight lines and the acoustics are great. My only gripe is that there is no center aisle. So if you are seated in the center of the row, get there a little early and plan on staying in your seat for the duration. If you pre-buy your parking in the Art Center deck online its $27 (including a service fee) and guarantees you a spot. But valet is $26 the night of the show. There is also plenty of parking nearby. The area is busy, well lit and is as safe as anywhere intown. If you are going green the Art Center Marta Station is right there.
