Lunar Festivities and High Fashion: What’s On in Atlanta Today
Community Connections and Career Growth
Atlanta begins this Tuesday, February 3, 2026, with a focus on community development and professional opportunities. For those looking to take the next step in their professional lives, the Gwinnett County Government is hosting the “Career From Here” Job Fair at the Gas South Convention Center. Running from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, this event offers a direct line to local government roles and various department recruiters. Additionally, the Fulton County Library System is providing essential services via their Mobile Career Center, stationed today at the Palmetto Branch Library from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, offering assistance with resume building and job searches.
Celebrating the Year of the Horse
Local favorite Doc Chey’s Noodle House kicks off its 20th annual Lunar New Year celebration today. As we approach the official start of the Year of the Horse later this month, the restaurant is starting the festivities early with special menu items and fortune cookie prizes available from February 3 through February 5. It is a fantastic opportunity for the community to gather, enjoy lucky foods, and participate in a tradition that benefits the Giving Kitchen, supporting food service workers in crisis.
Exhibitions and Theatrical Adventures
In the heart of the Midtown Arts District, the High Museum of Art continues its exclusive U.S. presentation of “Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Statements.” This retrospective, which is entering its final week before closing on February 8, features over 100 avant-garde garments that blur the lines between haute couture and fine art. For those interested in historical treasures, the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University is open today from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, showcasing their extensive collection of Ancient Egyptian and Nubian Art.
Families with young children can head to the Alliance Theatre for a performance of “Dinosaur!” occurring on the Selig Family Black Box Theatre stage. This interactive production is designed to engage early learners with the wonders of prehistoric life through sensory-rich storytelling.
Evening Live Music and Entertainment
As the sun sets, the city’s music venues come alive. At the Variety Playhouse, folk and Americana legend James McMurtry takes the stage at 8:00 PM, joined by special guest BettySoo. Meanwhile, at Terminal West, the indie-rock sounds of Night Moves will fill the room starting at 8:00 PM. For those in the mood for laughter and storytelling, comedian Orlando Jones is scheduled for a performance at City Winery, providing a perfect end to a busy Tuesday in the A.
