Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 9/17/25
Singer, songwriter, and multi-hyphenate Faye Webster is bringing her one-of-a-kind Faye Webster Invitational back for its highly anticipated second edition—this time in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. The multi-sport showcase and cultural event will unfold over the weekend of October 25th and 26th, highlighting three of Faye’s favorite pastimes: chess, LVBL (LiveBall) tennis, and yoyo. While the Invitational spans several events, only the yoyo showcase, and concert will be open to ticketed audiences. Details below.
