Looking for something to do in South Fulton this July? You are in luck. Between festivals, food trucks, and free family nights, there is a reason to leave the house almost every week this month. Here is everything on the calendar in Union City, East Point, Fairburn, and Hapeville for the rest of July.
Union City Events This July
Union City kicks things off with Backyard Blends: Summer Harvest Festival on Saturday, July 11, from 9 a.m. to noon at The Gathering Place. This one is part of the city’s new Growing Together initiative, so expect wellness sessions like pilates and a full body blast, live gardening demonstrations, smoothie tastings, a farmers market, and free seeds to take home.
Later in the month, Union City brings back its Light Up the Night Laser Light Show and Back to School Bash on Saturday, July 18, at Ronald Bridges Park, 5285 Lakeside Drive. Billed as Union City’s most lit night of the year, this one comes with a laser light show, a live DJ, games and activities, back to school resources, and fun for the whole family.
East Point Events This July
East Point keeps things going every single week with its Eats and Beats series. On Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.m., head to Downtown Commons for the East Point Farmers Market version, with local vendors, live music, food trucks, and family friendly activities. On Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m., the party moves to the Oz Pizza Courtyard for Eats and Beats at Main and White Way. It is free to attend, and outside food is welcome too.
Fairburn Events This July
Fairburn has a packed calendar this month. If you are reading this today, catch the Summer Soccer Watch Party at noon at Frankie Arnold Stage and Courtyard. Because the Fairburn Flava Friday Food Truck Series returns twice this month, on July 10 and July 24 from 5 to 8 p.m., you get two chances to grab dinner from a truck. Both nights bring live music downtown too.
Business owners will want to mark July 16 for the Business Alliance Meeting at City Hall at 6 p.m. It is free and open to entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and community partners. The next night, July 17, Fairburn City Center hosts Movie Night starting at 6 p.m. Then on July 22, teens can cool off at the Teen Splash Bash. It runs from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Duncan Park Pool and Splash Pad, complete with a live DJ.
Hapeville Events This July
Hapeville has two great nights lined up at Jess Lucas Park. First up is Movie Night on Friday, July 10, with activities starting at 7:30 p.m. and the film beginning at sundown. Then on July 18 from 7 to 10 p.m., Jazz and Seafood returns. Grove Centric opens, and Antoine Gibson headlines, so bring your appetite for both music and seafood.
