ATLANTA - There are multiple events happening in midtown and downtown Atlanta over Labor Day weekend and other events in the metro Atlanta area. Consider taking MARTA to avoid traffic and facing the possibility of no parking or paying higher than normal fees for parking. 

And, of course, if you are headed to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the best way to get there is MARTA's Red and Gold lines.
