From open-air concerts to riverside green space, this nine-day roundup highlights the smartest ways to experience Sandy Springs like a local between June 14 and June 22, 2026.
Concerts by the Springs at Heritage Green
Why It Stands Out
Sandy Springs kicks off its beloved free summer concert series, transforming Heritage Green into an easygoing evening of live music, lawn blankets, and community energy. It's one of the surest signs that summer has arrived in the city.
What to Expect
The series opens Sunday, June 14, at the Heritage Amphitheatre. Admission is free, with room to spread out on the lawn and food available on site.
Best For
Families, neighbors, and anyone who likes a relaxed, music-filled evening outdoors.
Insider Tip
Bring a blanket or low chair and arrive early to claim a shaded spot before the lawn fills in.
Sandy Springs PAC Summer Programming at City Springs
Why It Stands Out
The Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center anchors the walkable City Springs district, and its summer calendar brings polished live entertainment to the heart of town—an easy pairing with dinner and a stroll.
Timing and Planning
Performances run throughout the June 14–22 window at City Springs. Check the PAC calendar for the specific show and secure tickets in advance, as popular dates sell quickly.
Best For
Couples and friend groups wanting an elevated night out close to home.
Insider Tip
City Springs has ample parking in the deck below the plaza—arrive a little early to enjoy the restaurants before showtime.
STAMPED: Afrobeats & Amapiano Evening
Why It Stands Out
For a livelier, music-forward night, this Sunday gathering brings Afrobeats, Amapiano, and a vibrant social crowd to the area—a fresh, energetic alternative to the usual weekend plans.
What to Expect
Sunday, June 14, beginning at 4 PM. Expect DJs, dancing, and a stylish, social atmosphere.
Best For
Friend groups and anyone looking to dance and stay out a little later.
Insider Tip
Arrive in the early evening to settle in before the crowd builds, and plan a rideshare for an easy night out.
Chattahoochee Riverside Morning
Why It Stands Out
Sandy Springs is defined by its access to the Chattahoochee, and a weekend morning along the river trails captures the area's natural, unhurried side better than almost anything.
Timing and Planning
Best enjoyed early on Saturday, June 20, before midday heat sets in. The riverside units of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area are free to walk, with parking at several access points.
Best For
Walkers, runners, and families who want a calm, outdoorsy start to the weekend.
Insider Tip
Parking lots fill on warm Saturday mornings—arrive before 9 AM for the easiest access and the coolest temperatures.
