O.K., so this is a “repeat” from last month’s column - but what a deal! AIR has reserved a block of tickets for Forum registrants and their guests. Watch this year’s Forum host city take on next year’s host city! The Braves Museum and Hall of Fame, also at Turner Field, features more than 600 Braves artifacts and photographs that trace the team’s history from its beginnings in Boston (1871-1952) to Milwaukee (1953-65) to Atlanta (1966-present). Both the Braves Museum and Turner Field are open year-round and would make an awesome pre-game event for you, our honored guest!

The Tabernacle building has a rich & storied history. Opened in 1910 as The Broughton Tabernacle, it was reinvented during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, when it was converted into a House of Blues club. Now, it’s one of the coolest concert venues in Atlanta. On June 3, The Decemberists will be headlining! An indie rock band from Portland, OR, the band's songs range from upbeat pop to instrumentally lush ballads, and often employ instruments like the accordion, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer organ, and upright bass. A memorable way to wrap up your time at the Forum!
