We can’t think of a better way to welcome the fall weather than enjoying a Saturday sampling some of the city’s best chili! Chomp and Stomp welcomes more than 100 local chili recipes, plus live music, art, a 5k and beer. You’ll love spending the day at this beloved Atlanta festival. The race begins at 8 a.m., and the festival officially gets underway at 11 a.m. with live music and the opening of the Artist Market. Save your appetite for 12:30 p.m. when the chili tasting begins—and make sure you spend the $5 for the Chomp and Stomp tasting spoon.

Is there anything better than dancing the night away for a good cause? The 7th Annual Hearts and Hands Gala is the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities’ yearly black-tie event where you can do just that. In between dancing and looking fabulous at FLOURISH, guests are treated to a silent auction, a seated dinner and entertainment by comedians Tripp and Tyler. The goal? Raise a minimum of $450,000 and awareness about the organization, so make sure you dress to the nines while adding zeroes to those donation checks!
