Crimson Connections: August - West Midtown
Join Us for the 2nd Annual Crimson Connections Series - Atlanta Neighborhoods
We’re excited to announce the Harvard Club of Georgia’s Happy Hour Series for 2026, starting April 23rd and continuing each month from May through September 2026, in some of Atlanta’s most interesting and iconic neighborhoods. This series was a hit last year, so we decided to bring it back, this time with a focus on neighborhoods.
Learn about an Atlanta neighborhood, reconnect with friends, make new ones, and enjoy great drinks, tasty bites, and vibrant neighborhoods—indoors and out! Each happy hour runs from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and we welcome all Harvard alumni in the Metro Atlanta area to join us for this casual, social series.
