6 free Atlanta date ideas you’ll actually enjoy
Who says a great date means emptying your wallet? There are several ways you and your date can have a great time together without spending a dime.
Here are six free date ideas for your next rendezvous around the city:
Take a hike
Grab a pair of comfortable shoes, a water bottle and your partner’s hand (optional) as you head out to one of Georgia’s gorgeous trails. Not only will you both get a great workout in, but you also might just stumble across some of Atlanta’s beautiful cascading waterfalls. And yes, the views are definitely Instagram-worthy.
Head to Atlantic Station for a free movie night
Forget the traditional fancy dinner and movie — flicks go even better with picnics. Twice a month in the summer — if weather permits — Atlantic Station holds Screen on the Green. Just bring your blankets or chairs!

Explore the Beltline
Whether you and your partner choose to bring your bikes or just go for a romantic walk down the 22-mile loop, you can both enjoy the Beltline’s unique art installations and can even walk to the Beltline’s famous Historic Fourth Ward Park. If you’re feeling hungry, stop and indulge in Krog Street Market’s many restaurants and shops.
Have a picnic or attend a free summer fest at Piedmont Park
The park holds several fun and free festivals, like the annual Atlanta Jazz Festival, a popular musical showcase celebrating both jazz legends and up-and-coming musicians.
