1. SIX The Musical at the Fox Theatre (Apr 28 - May 3)
The Tony-winning pop concert-meets-history lesson lands on Peachtree. SIX turns the six wives of Henry VIII into a six-woman supergroup, and it plays the Fox Theatre from April 28 through May 3, 2026 as part of Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta. It is a tight, 80-minute show with zero intermission and maximum energy.
What to know: The Fox is at 660 Peachtree Street NE, walking distance to dinner spots along Peachtree and Crescent Avenue. Arrive 30 to 45 minutes early to soak in the Fox's Moorish interior and grab a pre-show drink.
2. Atlanta Symphony: Spano Conducts Rachmaninoff + Bernstein (Thu, Apr 30)
As part of the America @ 250 series, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra performs Rachmaninoff and Bernstein at Atlanta Symphony Hall on Thursday, April 30, 2026. Expect a program that pairs lush Romantic sweep with a distinctly American voice.
What to know: Atlanta Symphony Hall is inside the Woodruff Arts Center at 1280 Peachtree Street NE. The Arts Center MARTA station is a short walk, and on-site parking fills fast.
3. Music for the Very Young: Tinman's Oz (Wed, Apr 29)
If you have little ones, the Atlanta Symphony's Music for the Very Young series brings Tinman's Oz to Symphony Hall on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. It is a short, interactive program designed for toddlers and preschoolers, and it is an easy way to introduce live orchestral music.
What to know: Seating is relaxed and the program runs roughly 30 minutes. Pair it with a stop at the High Museum of Art next door or a picnic in Piedmont Park.
4. Make @ MODA: Stencils, Shape, and Repetition (Tue, Apr 28)
The Museum of Design Atlanta is hosting a hands-on workshop exploring stencils, shape, and repetition on Tuesday, April 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. It is a great fit for design-curious adults and creative families looking for a low-key weekday activity.
What to know: MODA sits on Peachtree Street across from the High, so it is easy to combine with a museum visit or dinner nearby. Spaces fill up, so RSVP in advance through the MODA site.
How to Plan Your Week in Midtown
Midtown is built for walking. Start your week with MODA on Tuesday afternoon, catch Music for the Very Young on Wednesday morning, settle in at Symphony Hall on Thursday night, and cap the week with SIX at the Fox on the weekend. Almost every venue is a short walk or quick MARTA ride from the Midtown or Arts Center stations.
For dinner, Crescent Avenue, 10th Street, and the West Peachtree corridor offer everything from quick bites to sit-down date nights. If the weather cooperates, end the night with a stroll through Piedmont Park.
