The World Cup starts this weekend, launching a month of International soccer madness. Fado Irish Pub will host an all-day viewing party that continues late into the night, with a live DJ spinning at 10.

Washing PAWS for a Cause
Hotel Palomar. Saturday, 11am—2pm. $15/wash.
Bring your dirty pups to Hotel Palomar’s Alliance Patio for an eco-friendly wash. Proceeds benefit the PAWS Atlanta no-kill animal shelter.

Refreshments served to pet owners and their four-legged friends.
Second Friday Art Stroll
Castleberry Hill neighborhood. Friday, 7pm—10pm. Free.
For decades Castleberry Hill has been called Atlanta’s best arts district. Go see what all the fuss is about. Be sure to hit Project Pushpin at Castleberry Point and sample bites from the Atlanta Street Food Coalition.
