| The Beltline Brief 🍑 | June 19–26, 2026 |
Caught a Braves game with my wife Megan (front) and dear friends the Jones's this week and was reminded — there's just nothing like watching baseball in this city with the people you love. Atlanta in the summer is undefeated. World Cup season is still in full swing and the trail has never felt more alive. Get out there. 🍑
— Travis
The War and Treaty
plays free Thursday.
Decatur Square.
Decatur WatchFest keeps rolling. The Atlanta Dream play two huge home games at State Farm Arena. And the trail is still the best free seat in the city for World Cup season. Here's everything. 👇
Atlanta is deep into World Cup season and the energy hasn't dropped an inch. The War and Treaty headlines Decatur Square Thursday night. The Atlanta Dream host the Indiana Fever and Toronto Tempo at State Farm Arena this weekend. And the BeltLine is still the best free seat in the city. Here's what's worth knowing. 👇
The BeltLine is still the World Cup's best-kept secret.
The Atlanta BeltLine continues offering easy access to parks, trails, public art, food, and watch parties across the city all the way through July 19. Over 16 miles of continuous trails connect you to shops, restaurants, watch party events, local markets, parks, and greenspaces. Walk, ride, or wander. The Cup is here and so is the trail — and it's only getting better from here.
⚽ World Cup matches run through July 19 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Check beltline.org/fifa-world-cup for trail-side watch party listings.

Two spots. Both right on the trail.
Quick hitters this week — both worth the walk.
San Marzano tomatoes, 00 flour imported from Naples, a brick oven hot enough to char the crust in 90 seconds. One of the best pizzas in Atlanta, full stop. Walk the Eastside Trail to Krog and get a table before the dinner rush.
Cold beer, a shady deck, and World Cup matches on every screen. This has been the go-to watch spot all tournament and it's not slowing down. Westside Trail right outside the door.
New spot near the trail? Tag us @thebeltlinebrief and we'll get you featured. 🍑
The War and Treaty plays free on Decatur Square Thursday.
The Grammy-nominated husband-and-wife duo takes the stage June 25 ahead of the USMNT match — soul, country, and gospel-rooted harmonies that brought down the house at Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday concert. Free, but tickets are required and limited to four per email. Get there early. This one will be packed.

Know a creative worth featuring? Follow us @thebeltlinebrief and let's put them on. 🎨
The Atlanta Dream play two huge home games at State Farm Arena.
The Dream host the Indiana Fever Saturday and the Toronto Tempo Monday — both at State Farm Arena instead of their usual Gateway Center home. Fan demand has been so high the team moved five home games downtown this season, and this is the biggest stretch on the calendar. MARTA straight to the arena. Easy trip from the Eastside or Westside Trail.

"Hey Atlanta — it's Charlie. Cavapoo. Trail legend. World Cup season means more people on the trail, which means more good boys and girls who need a home should be out there with us. Go adopt one. Or donate. Do it for the dogs. Do it for me. 🐾🍑"

This week: Decatur WatchFest '26 🌍
What started as a Big Boi kickoff concert has turned into one of the most genuine community celebrations Atlanta has seen in years. Free concerts every single day, 60+ match broadcasts, and a city that opened its arms to the world without losing what makes it Decatur. The team behind this deserves real credit. 🌍
The Cup keeps going.
So does the BeltLine.
The War and Treaty plays free Thursday. The Dream play two huge games downtown. World Cup matches run through July 19. There's no reason to sit this one out. Get on the trail. 🍑
