Fanny Pack Friday ‘80s and ‘90s Dance Party
Where: Venkman’s
When: June 29, doors at 9 p.m., show at 10 p.m.
Cost: $10-25
Details: It’s hard not to love the ‘80s and ‘90s, even if some of the looks were cringe-worthy in retrospect. But there is one thing most people can agree on: the music makes you want to dance. Grab your scrunchies and neon fanny packs and take a trip back in time for this dance party at Venkman’s.

The First Music in Cinema Film Fest
Where: Synchronicity Theatre
When: June 30, 3:30-11 p.m.
Cost: $10-25
Details: Atlanta’s film industry seems to get all the headlines these days, but the city has always been a hub for emerging musicians. The MIC marries film with music in the first ever film festival celebrating all ranges of music in independent films, whether it be music videos, music documentaries, or any other film related to the art of music. Get your popcorn and put on your dancing shoes for an evening of screen watching and toe-tapping.

Atlanta United vs. Orlando City

With a tie from the last game and an overall trend of wins so far in the season, there’s a lot to be hope for with this home game. The next two games are away, so make sure to snag tickets this weekend if you need a non-World Cup soccer fix.
