It's officially spring time! This is the best time of year to get out and explore Atlanta. Here are my top five picks of activities you don't want to miss.

1. The Atlanta Jazz Party

Are you ready to party? An all-star lineup is set to perform at the Atlanta Jazz Party: April 22-24th 2016. From New York to New Orleans, these players will come together to perform improvisational jazz that will have you groovin' to the beat.

2. Tough Mudder

A great way to get active and make some friends along the way is to sign up for Tough Mudder. Over two million people worldwide have already completed this extreme obstacle course. It's not a race. Participants work together to reach the finish line, so no one is left behind. You can join a team or sign up as an individual, either way you'll gain friends along the way. Next event in Atlanta is May 7-8, 2016.
