EVENTS Calendar

JULY * Compiled by Pamela A. Keene

Enjoy virtual and in-person outdoor events

ue to the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19,
Georgia Magazine has changed the format for our
Events Calendar to provide readers with both virtual and
in-person events and activities to explore.
July's Calendar offers three sections: Gateways to Virtual
Events, websites that provide access to multiple organizations' online activities through a single web portal; Individual
Groups' Activities, virtual events and activities sponsored by
stand-alone groups across the state; and In-person Outdoor

Events, which have social-distancing directives in place and
are grouped by tourism region.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity
to get to know organizations and destinations in tourism
regions you may not have visited before.
Our in-person listings represent events that were confirmed at press time. However, before you attend any event,
please verify that it is taking place by calling and/or checking
websites.
