ATLANTA — If Monday was all heat and baseball noise, Tuesday is a good night to claim a bar stool and a story.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s August 2026 book and author events roundup lists a free oral storytelling night at Manuel’s Tavern (602 N. Highland Ave. NE) on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The AJC calendar entry is listed as free and evening-timed — the kind of low-cost, high-character night that fits a work-week calendar better than a festival gate.

METRO ATLANTA — If your Sunday plan is still blank, the city and suburbs are not short on options.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is packing the only 70mm IMAX screen in Georgia — Regal Mall of Georgia in Buford — hard enough that the theater has run 24-hour operations Thursday through Monday since the film’s late-July U.S. release. FOX 5 Atlanta’s Aug. 7–9 things-to-do list, meanwhile, flags anniversary parties, free concerts, and family festivals still live across the weekend.
