Tuesday week-ahead: Manuel’s oral storytelling, midweek book nights, and Mets at Truist

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 01:25:00 -0400

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.

Week ahead: Mets at Truist, Hadestown on tour, and late-summer outdoor holds

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 01:25:00 -0400

METRO ATLANTA — Monday starts a full workweek calendar, not a leftover Sunday list.

After a Yankees road series that ended with a 10-inning salvage win in the Bronx, the Atlanta Braves were scheduled home against the New York Mets beginning Monday, Aug. 10, at Truist Park — a promotion-friendly stretch on the club’s published home schedule and the easiest “something to do with a crowd” option if you already follow the team. Pair that with long-running arts bookings and heat-aware outdoor plans and you have a week that does not require inventing a festival that is not there.

Tuesday planner: Falcons afternoon camp, free Night Out, and storm windows

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 05:25:00 -0400

ATLANTA — Tuesday stacks one free NFL look, a classic community public-safety night, and a wetter afternoon pattern than Monday.

Falcons AT&T Training Camp — 1:55 p.m., Flowery Branch

The club’s official camp schedule lists Tuesday, Aug. 4, at IBM Performance Field with a 1:55 p.m. start — the week’s afternoon session after Monday’s 9:15 a.m. practice. Free tickets are still required; the team caps claims and notes that practices can move indoors (and close to the public) for weather or extreme heat. Gates generally open an hour early. Bring a refillable bottle, sun protection, and a bag under the published size limit. Autograph access, when available, is limited and happens along the fan hill after practice per the team FAQ.

Week ahead: Falcons camp opens, Dream host Aces, and sticky storm odds

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 05:25:00 -0400

ATLANTA — The first full week of August opens with two easy spectator anchors and a weather pattern that still asks outdoor planners to keep a Plan B.

Monday, Aug. 3

Falcons AT&T Training Camp (Flowery Branch)
The club’s official camp page lists a 9:15 a.m. open practice at IBM Performance Field. Free tickets are required; Saturday’s session was already marked sold out on the team site, so Monday claims can move quickly on the Ticketmaster portal. Gates typically open an hour early. Bring a small bag that meets the size rules, a refillable bottle, and sun protection — afternoon storm chances rise later even if the morning is bright.
