Make It an Awesome Alpharetta Experience

You could drive to Alpharetta and go straight to your venue of choice… and you could designate someone in your group to drive you back home after the show… you could even schedule a ride sharing service… but we have a much better plan in mind for you!

Make your musical adventure into a mini getaway! Here’s how:

Book a Stay in Alpharetta
The first step in any successful getaway is making sure your accommodations are on lock. Luckily, Alpharetta is home to 30 modern hotels that provide fantastic amenities like pools, restaurants, gyms, and some even offer shuttle services and pet-friendly rooms. With hotels central to any of the venues we mentioned above, you are guaranteed to find accommodations that put you as close to the music as possible. You can drop off your bags, refresh and prepare for the show, and return to cozy comfort after a night of rockin’ tunes.

Bite into Big Flavors
You can’t enjoy the music if it’s drowned out by the sounds of a rumbling tummy. Make sure your stomach doesn’t hijack the show by keeping it happy with the delicious bites you can find at any of Alpharetta’s 200+ dining experiences! Enjoy prime steaks and seafood at Cabernet Steakhouse before hearing a symphony. Tantalize your tastebuds with premium barbecue at Loyal Q and Brew before you catch a crooning country singer’s show. Enjoy a light appetizer and wine flight at CRU Food & Wine Bar to hold you over until you enjoy your meal and show at The Velvet Note or Matilda’s! No matter what flavors your love, you’ll find them in Alpharetta!

Shop for the Perfect Outfit
Make sure your concert attire is on point with a trip to any of Alpharetta’s 250+ retailers! Channel your inner Lainey Wilson with a visit to Southern Local before you head to her concert. Find an elegant evening dress that is just right for a jazzy show at Fab’rik. Channel whimsy and wonder with selections from Free People and Spirited Boutique before heading to Matilda’s. For the gents, update your outfit with a new shirt from Clothes Horse Men’s Apparel or dapper up with a full ‘fit from Peter Millar.

Stay for the PLAY
The fun doesn’t have to stop when the music ends. Alpharetta is home to some great evening hot spots, like Roaring Social, where you can dance and even enjoy miniature bowling. Ready to call it a night after the show? Plan for a fun day around town after you get a great night of rest. TopGolf, Fairway Social, Main Event, Dave and Busters, and Jekyll Brewing are just a few more examples of awesome attractions that you won’t want to miss while making the most of your getaway.
