This weekend is jammed pack with music and art.

Looking for some music and art this weekend? Go no further than Norcross.

On Thursday, head over to for the opening reception of its new exhibition, "Two Cameras - Two Countries." From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., have some wine and talk to photographers Kelli Griffin and Diane Watson about their work depicting "colorful adventures and insightful discoveries" in Cambodia and Antigua, Guatemala, according to a statement from the gallery.

Then on Friday, watch The Woodys take over as the second show in the Summer Concert Series. With the performance from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., dance to their classic-rock sound with a Fleetwood Mac vibe.

Before the music, though, will have a six-hour soccer tournament for the event. Hosted by the city, Norcross Together is a local grassroots movement aimed to bridge together residents of the old part of town with the newly annexed part of the city, specifically across Buford Highway. The event, which is from from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., will have a multi-game soccer invitational, food trucks and motivational speech by Joe Kissack.

Have a great weekend, ya'll!
