Laugh out loud with your four-legged friends at Movies in the Bark

Bring your furry friend for a day of cold beer and cuddles under the stars at Movies in the Bark.

Grab your human ticket while you still can, but don’t worry about a ticket for the pup.

ParkGrounds, 142 Flat Shoals Ave. S.E. www.patinapictures.co/movies-in-the-bark/.

Bring the kids and Ponce City Market will bring a substantial amount of coffee legos at LEGOs and Joe. Dancing Goats, an ATL java favorite, has the hookup for the caffeine all parents desperately need by the end of the week, and MODA has the LEGOs for the little ones. It’s ten bucks for an kid+adult, which includes beverages. All proceeds go to providing campMODA scholarships to underserved kids in Atlanta. Donating to a good cause while enjoying the city’s best brew and the kids have a blast? Seems like a no-brainer to us.

Ponce City Market, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave. N.E. http://www.museumofdesign.org/calendar/2018/4/28/legos-and-joe-at-ponce-city-market.
