From Purim to St. Patrick's Day to Easter, March is a great time to get out and enjoy free fun in Atlanta! Don’t miss our favorite FREE things to do in Atlanta with kids in March.

As we spring forward into March, Atlanta families can head to FREE events, especially leprechaun-friendly ones, like the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade, Shake Your Shamrock in Buford, and Avenue Shamrock in East Cobb! Purim falls in late March this year and families can attend several events, including Purim Carnival with a Cause.
