Dames and Dregs
When: August 10, 1–6 p.m.
Where: The Masquerade
Cost: $35
Details: Even we’ve asked the question: What’s up with all the white dudes dominating Georgia’s craft beer scene? This event is all about celebrating women’s contributions to brewing—while obviously enjoying a few brews. Expect more than 40 breweries participating, three stages featuring women performers, and an art market featuring women-owned goods. A portion of the money raised from this event will benefit Girls Rock Camp Atlanta.

Stranger Things at the Carter Museum
When: August 10, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Where: Jimmy Carter Presidential Library
