Atlantans really love springtime! The city is about to heat up with spring festivals and concerts — including this year’s Wine Down Weekends free outdoor concert series. These FREE concerts will take place at City Winery every weekend through May. They’re all held on City Winery’s expansive, dog-friendly patio, and are open to music lovers of all ages.
City Winery is located at Ponce City Market. The complete concert schedule is posted below.
The Wine Down Weekends free concert series kicks off on Friday, March 8th at 6:30 p.m. with a high-energy show from Lerogie. The show lasts about two hours.
While attending a free concert, you can order food from the City Winery menu, sip wine from the 315-bottle selection, and enjoy craft beer or a signature cocktail. All this with your four-legged companion by your side!

About the venue

City Winery is the brainchild of Michael Dorf, who wanted to create a space where he could combine his shared passions for wine and music. He opened the first City Winery in New York City in 2008. Since then, he has opened locations in Chicago, Nashville, Boston, and — of course — Atlanta.
The venue is known for combining high-end culinary and cultural experiences that include food, wine, and music. It’s the place to go for intimate concerts, food and wine classes, and chef-driven cuisine. It’s also a fully functioning winery!
City Winery is located at Ponce City Market, next door to Dancing Goats Coffee Shop.
The address is:
650 North Avenue NE
Suite #201
Atlanta, GA 30308

(We’re still working on this! We know parking in Midtown can be difficult, especially around Ponce City Market — and we’re looking for tips and tricks that can save you money and hassles.)
