Strut, Streetcar Tour, Horizon Play, New Exhibit and More

What's going on in the East Atlanta area this weekend? Here is just a sampler. Check out our Calendar for even more events.

East Atlanta Strut. The 16th annual Strut will be Saturday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with activities centered around Glenwood and Flat Shoals in East Atlanta Village. The Strut Parade will begin at 2 p.m. at the corner of Patterson and Glenwood avenues. The unofficial motto is, "No matter what, you've got to strut!," coined by the retirees at Branan Towers, who each year join the parade on foot or wheels. Organizers say the artists market has about 100 local artists with handmade goods, and there are about 30 community booths that add to the festival atmosphere by bringing together local businesses and festival-goers through games and attractions. Of course there is plenty of live music on multiple stages, plus food and drink. Check out the website and come back to Patch for more details.

Third Country. Playwright Suehyla El-Attar's work was inspired by real life events in nearby Clarkston, where thousands of refugees from around the world have been resettled over the last decade. Sept. 18, 19, 20, 8 p.m.; Saturday, Sept. 21, 3 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 22, 5 p.m. Tickets may be ordered by phone at 404.584.7450 or online at horizontheatre.com. Group rates available.
