Magical Theater and Mystery Cinema: What's On in Atlanta Today
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Fox Theatre
The magic of the wizarding world continues today at the historic Fox Theatre with a performance of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. This Tony Award-winning production follows the story of Harry’s son, Albus, as he begins his own journey at Hogwarts. Fans can expect a spectacular display of theatrical magic, featuring mind-bending illusions and a race through time that connects the past with the future. The show is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM, offering a perfect evening for families and long-time fans of the franchise.
Alternative Sounds with Dear Maryanne
For those looking for a more intimate and modern live performance, the alternative artist Dear Maryanne is taking the stage at The Masquerade. The performance will be held at Altar, one of the venue's distinctive spaces located downtown. Known for a blend of emotive lyrics and unique soundscapes, the show kicks off at 7:00 PM. It is a great opportunity to catch rising talent in a legendary Atlanta music setting.
Monday Mystery Movie Nights
Cinema lovers have a unique opportunity tonight with two major "mystery" screening events. AMC Theatres across the metro area, including locations at Madison Yards, Phipps Plaza, and Parkway Pointe, are hosting their "AMC Screen Unseen" event. For a discounted price, guests can watch a brand-new movie before its official release, though the title remains a secret until the film begins. Simultaneously, Regal Atlantic Station is hosting its "Monday Mystery Movie: Horror Edition," specifically curated for fans of the genre looking for a thrill to start their week.
Atlanta Farmers Market in Forest Park
If you are looking for early-day activities, the Atlanta Farmers Market in Forest Park remains a staple for fresh produce and local goods. Operating from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM today, this massive market provides a wide variety of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and artisanal products. It is one of the largest distribution points for fresh food in the Southeast and offers a genuine community experience for those wanting to support local growers and find high-quality ingredients.
Ongoing Community Events
The city is also in the midst of the annual Atlanta Science Festival, which runs through March 21. While many larger expos are held on weekends, several metro-area venues host smaller workshops and demonstrations throughout the week. Additionally, for those seeking a moment of community reflection, the Friendship Community Church holds its weekly "Monday Manna Prayer Call" early in the morning, welcoming residents to join in a virtual gathering of support and connection.
