Pulled automatically from the same rule-based and scraped data as the cards below — it doesn't cover every venue yet (several only publish hours in a way nothing can safely auto-read), so treat a quiet list here as "check the card," not "nothing's open."

Ice Skating Rinks

Five rinks run public skating year-round. A longer list of outdoor pop-up rinks opens for the winter holidays only — they're closed right now and typically don't post next season's calendar until autumn.

Open year-round

Note: IceForum's former Town Center location in Kennesaw is no longer listed here — it's been closed for a while, and multiple rink directories confirm it. If it ever reopens under new ownership, it'll go back on this list.

Seasonal — winter holiday pop-ups (closed now, typically Nov–Feb)

These are outdoor or temporary rinks that operate one holiday season and take the ice down afterward. Dates below reflect last winter's (2025–26) run so you know roughly when to look; 2026–27 dates and ticket links are usually posted by each venue in October or November.

  • Macland On Ice – Powder Springs

    Seasonal · short window

    4665 Macland Rd, Powder Springs, GA 30127

    Very short run — last season opened Dec 6 and closed Dec 28, Friday–Sunday only. Privately run on the grounds of Worship With Wonders Church, not a City of Powder Springs facility — the city's own site won't have current details.

  • Rink on the River – The Mill on Etowah, Canton

    Seasonal · ~40 mi out

    225 Reformation Pkwy, Canton, GA 30114 · (678) 762-9950

    Fully covered, so it runs regardless of weather; farther from the city core than the other seasonal rinks. Same tent, same brand, two different rinks depending on the time of year: it's a roller rink through the summer, then converts to the ice rink each winter (roughly Nov–Jan). If you're checking this in summer, don't be surprised to find roller skates instead of ice.

Motorsports Venues

From NASCAR Cup weekends to Saturday-night dirt racing to the monthly car show that shuts down a shopping center parking lot, here's every motorsports venue and recurring car event in the Metro Atlanta orbit we could confirm is currently active — plus one well-known track that has closed, so you don't drive out to it by mistake.

  • Atlanta Dragway

    Closed

    500 E Ridgeway Rd, Commerce, GA

    Formerly a full quarter-mile NHRA drag strip. Included here so it's clear it's not currently hosting events — don't plan a trip around it. Listed for reference only.

  • Caffeine and Octane

    Active · monthly car show

    Town Center at Cobb, 400 Ernest W Barrett Pkwy NW, Kennesaw, GA 30144

    North America's largest recurring car meet — 2,500+ vehicles and tens of thousands of spectators, every first Sunday of the month, roughly 9–11:30 a.m., rain or shine. Free to attend and free to show a privately owned vehicle. Not wheel-to-wheel racing, but a fixture of the Atlanta car scene, so it's here in its own category.

  • Lanier Speedway (formerly Caffeine and Octane's Lanier Raceway)

    Ownership just changed — unconfirmed

    Braselton, GA (across from Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta)

    This 3/8-mile paved oval has changed hands twice in a few years: Caffeine and Octane bought it in 2022 and ran weekly drift/legends/car-meet events, then sold it in October 2025 to a new, publicly unnamed owner operating as "Lanier Speedway LLC." The new owner has said the track will stay open and events will continue, but hasn't published a public schedule yet as of this writing — call before planning a visit.

    Check lanierspeedway.com for a current schedule →

This list focuses on venues with a confirmed, active public schedule, plus Lanier Speedway (flagged above) so you know its status rather than assume it's still running as Caffeine and Octane's track. There are additional small short tracks in the wider North Georgia region (for example around Winder and Chatsworth); if you know one that should be added, let us know.
