Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is always bustling with national events taking place.

DragonCon, Black Pride and the football Kickoff Classic are expected to bring thousands of people to the city.

Rose speaks with Bishop Oliver Allen about the annual Atlanta Black Pride which has a focus that goes being entertainment, but a focus on health and wellness.

Plus how the success of managing this weekend's crowds will influence those upcoming fall festivals and outdoor events. Jamie Ferguson with Atlanta Pride talks about the October festival.
