Criminal Records is celebrating 35 years with a three-stage, free block party Saturday Aug. 15. Buddy Red and Puddles Pity Party are just two of the musical highlights. Find out the rest.

Atlanta Dogwood Festival is back to kickoff the spring season, National Grilled Cheese Day celebration in Atlantic Station, and Marietta Theatre Company brings Charlie Brown to the stage.

When you’re a co-founder of the now globally celebrated Record Store Day, you’re expected to step up your game for Saturday’s sixth annual nerd holiday. Criminal Records owner Eric Levin is doing just that via the first two vinyl releases on his new limited-run, boutique LP series, Live at Criminal Records. Accompanying the new live recordings of in-store sets by up-and-coming Atlanta acts Von Grey and Christ, Lord, fans who buy the LPs in advance will also get into an after-hours Saturday gig when the store closes at 8 p.m. for a VIP show with the two acts, along with Mood Rings. Of planning for his sixth annual Record Store Day, Levin reflects: “It’s astonishing, I didn’t think anyone would care and now it’s become this huge thing.”
