From Purim to St. Patrick's Day and the arrival of spring, March is a great time to get out and enjoy Atlanta! 

As we spring forward into March and days get warmer, families can enjoy outdoor events like the Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Parade with floats, bagpipes and, of course, lots of green! Purim falls in early March this year and families have several parades and festivals to choose from like the Purim Carnival with a Cause in north Atlanta. Fans of the Harlem Globetrotters have two opportunities to see the awesome antics of the basketball stars--one in Duluth at Gas South Arena and another at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta. We are also super excited for March 31, when LEGO Discovery Center at Phipps Plaza reopens after a $5 million dollar renovation. 

March is a great time to take a well-deserved vacay to a family-friendly destination. We have a bajillion ideas in our Family Travel Guide, like Charleston, SC and West Palm Beach, FL. We love to check out cool Atlanta attractions and fun spots and give you all the scoop. We recently visited Atlanta's Center for Puppetry Arts and have lots of insights and tips to share. Have kids that like to climb and jump? (Who doesn't?) Then you will definitely want to check out our list of Ninja Warrior Gyms and Parkour Spots Around Atlanta.  

We’re adding more events to our family activity calendar every day, so don’t forget to check it frequently.  

March on over here to sign up for our newsletters.
