If Wednesday is Hump Day, then what the heck is today?

How about Jumpstart Day? The weekend may just be a delicious fading memory, but that’s no excuse not to get out there and do something fun or enlighteni­ng on the first weekday.

Here are today’s highlights from around town.

MILK + COOKIES PRESENTS: NAV

Here’s your one-night-only chance to catch the Canadian hip hop artist who first found success writing and producing for stars like Drake and Travis Scott and now is making a name for himself as a performer. The Juno Award-nominated Breakthrou­gh Artist of 2018 hit the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time as a lead artist back in November for “Wanted You” featuring Lil Uzi Vert. Also on tonight’s bill: 88GLAM. It all goes down at the Buckhead Theatre, whose“revitaliza­tion” AJC music critic Melissa Ruggieri recently gave readers an up close and personal look at. With $7 million worth of renovation­s since Live Nation took over the venue’s operations last summer, it’s “No surprise,” Ruggieri wrote, “that Billboard magazine named the Buckhead Theatre one of the ‘20 Freshest (and Refreshed) Venues to Watch in 2018.’” $26.50-$36.50. 3110 Roswell Road, Atlanta. www. thebuckhea­dtheatreat­l.com.

GARDEN TOUR MONDAYS AT BARRINGTON HALL One of three historic houses in Roswell that are open to the public, Barrington Hall is the only one with a formal garden. It was designed by Catherine King, wife of Roswell co-founder Barrington King, who built the Greek Revival-style home completed in 1842. Besides the formal East Garden, the grounds include the Top Garden and Eva’s Garden — that last one a nod to Barrington’s daughter, Eva, who tended it. On Monday mornings through Sept. 24, Barrington Hall’s staff horticultu­ralist will lead a free, 30-minute tour that includes gardening tips and informatio­n on restoratio­n of the grounds. No reservatio­ns are necessary, but you must arrive by 9:30 a.m. 535 Barrington Drive, Roswell. 770-640-3855, www.roswellgov.com.

EBOLA: PEOPLE + PUBLIC HEALTH + POLITICAL WILL Thought to be the first U.S. museum to offer an overview of the worst Ebola outbreak in history, this exhibition at the CDC’s David J.

Free. 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays; 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursdays; closed weekends and federal holidays. Free. 1600 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta. 404-639-0830, www.cdc.gov/museum
