Pam Gebhardt & Leslie Tomasini ,
We are a month into summer, which is often a time when kids are itching for new summer entertainment while parents are looking to save a little money. Thankfully, the Metro Atlanta area offers an extensive array of outdoor movie and concert nights that are not only fun, but also inexpensive (some FREE)! Most of the events we listed below are catered towards families, but there are also a few that would be perfect for a date-night or evening out with friends.
