Winter Happenings in Atlanta

The new year is officially here and so is Winter in Atlanta.  Many feel that during the Winter months there are less social activities in Atlanta, but CSOA has put together a list of happenings around town to keep you busy.

January 13, 2019: Atlanta Jewish Life Festival

January 25-27, 2019: Days of the Dead

Your new year is going to kill! Days of the Dead is a horror convention that scares up the best in fan favorites, happening for one weekend at the Atlanta Sheraton. Ticket holders can attend panels, meet legendary icons like Clive Barker, try some spooky games and VIP package deals — just don’t scream when prices go up at the door… mwah, mwah, mwah! daysofthedead.com

January 26 & 27, 2019: Smyrna’s 8th Annual Oysterfest

Atkins Park Restaurant & Bar hosts another good year of good eating at Smyrna’s annual Oysterfest celebration. This Mardi Gras-themed event celebrates the world’s slimiest yet tastiest food — oysters that are raw, grilled, fried and any other delish method of preparation. Besides the great food, ticket holders can show up at 11 a.m. for New Orleans-inspired music, a cold Abita beer and a great time. General admission tickets are $15 and presale tickets are $8 per day. facebook.com
