If you are looking to catch the tail end of the festivities, the day features specialized workshops and social dancing sessions that cater to all skill levels. It is a rare opportunity to witness elite performers and immerse yourself in a vibrant, rhythmic community right in the heart of downtown.
Spring Cash & Carry at AmericasMart
For those interested in the latest trends in home decor, jewelry, and fashion, the Spring Cash & Carry event officially opens today at AmericasMart Atlanta. Running from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., this marketplace allows qualified buyers and guests to purchase inventory on the spot.

Attendees can explore a massive collection of gift items and accessories across several floors, making it one of the premier professional shopping events in the city this season.
Sunset Yoga at The Battery Atlanta
Weather permitting, community wellness takes center stage this evening at the Plaza Green. Yoga presented by Kaiser Permanente returns to The Battery Atlanta from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This free outdoor session is open to the public but does require pre-registration. Participants are encouraged to bring their own mats and water for an hour of guided stretching and mindfulness in the modern surroundings of the Battery. It is a perfect way for locals to unwind after the first workday of the week while enjoying the early March air.
Monday Night Board Games at Manuel’s Tavern
If you prefer a more laid-back community meetup, the long-standing tradition of Monday night board games continues at the historic Manuel’s Tavern. Starting at 6:00 p.m., the back rooms of this iconic venue fill with enthusiasts playing everything from classic strategy games to the latest indie tabletop releases. The meetup is free to attend and serves as a welcoming hub for newcomers and regulars alike to connect over food, drinks, and friendly competition.
Public Art Exhibitions
For a dose of culture, the Atlanta Contemporary is currently hosting the "Georgia Women to Watch 2026" exhibition. This showcase, titled "A Book Arts Revolution," celebrates five local artists who are redefining narrative and materiality through the medium of bookmaking. Additionally, the Atlanta History Center remains open for those looking to explore "Gatheround: Stories of Atlanta," a cornerstone exhibition that details the city’s evolving identity through immersive artifacts and storytelling.
