For one weekend this month, Atlanta, like Chicago, will flood with green. But lacking a river as we do, it’s Peachtree Street that will run emerald when the Irish and their friends march in celebration of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. This year marks the 141st St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Atlanta, making it one of the longest continuously running parades in the city.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup kicks off July 20 in Auckland, New Zealand, and once again, the Americans are favored to win it all. The U.S.Women's National Team enter the fray as the reigning champions, having claimed victory at the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France, their fourth since the tournament began in 1991. And this year, they’ll be bringing plenty of Peach State pride Down Under: the 23-player roster includes two Georgia natives, defenders Kelley O’Hara and Emily Sonnett.
