4 Fun Fall Events for the Family
If you're looking for the ultimate way to spend a fall weekend with the family, we have several ideas! From apples to corn mazes, these festivities will ensure smiles on everyone's face.
Yule Forest in Stockbridge
We love the way Yule Forest matches fall fun with educational adventures. Visit the pumpkin patch to pick up a melon for Halloween, but don't stop there. Kids will love the Bee House, the STEM Garden, and a spectacular dinosaur exhibit for young ones. If your family loves haunted houses, through Halloween, you'll want to venture through the Yule Forest's Fear The Woods haunted house, haunted trail and haunted laser tag combat field.
Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay
You have two October weekends to treat yourself and the family to amazing apple fun at the Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay. Check out crafts from more than 300 vendors, plus demonstrations, a parade, antique auto show and more. Kids under 10 are free.
Gold Rush Days Festival in Dahlonega
Crisp mountain air and peak fall foliage set the stage for this October festival. Thousands gather to celebrate the anniversary of the 1828 discovery of gold in Dahlonega by panning for gold, mining gemstones, attending the annual parade, and purchasing local art.
Harvest Fest in Calhoun
Visit downtown Calhoun the last Saturday of October for a family-friendly day of shopping and fun. More than 70 craft and food vendors line the streets for Harvest Fest. Try the famous "farmer fries," and take a spin in a real tractor!
