🌱 Music Midtown Canceled + Disney Trivia Night At Three Taverns

Hello, neighbors! I'm back in your inbox this warm morning to walk you through all the most important things happening locally. Let's do it.

First, today's weather:

Partial sunshine. High: 89 Low: 70.

Here are the top three stories today in Decatur-Avondale Estates:

1. The 2022 Music Midtown festival, scheduled for Sep. 17 to 18 in Piedmont Park, has been canceled. Yesterday, event organizers posted online that the decision was "due to circumstances beyond [their] control," and ticket holders would receive refunds within 24 hours. 11 Alive reports that Music Midtown's weapons policy, which bans weapons "of any kind," conflicts with the state's constitutional carry law; however, organizers have not cited a specific reason for the cancelation. (11 Alive)
2. Fancy yourself an expert on all things classic Disney? Three Taverns Brewery invites Mouseketeers of all ages to its upcoming Disney Trivia Night event on Thursday, Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. Guests are encouraged to come ahead of call time to grab a seat and order some food and drinks.

3. Did you know that the folk duo Indigo Girls got their start in Decatur?
