The weather hasn't cooled down, the leaves have hardly changed and it's still very much a Georgia summer. None of this matters, because fall is upon us, and it's time to celebrate! If you're looking for fall fun in Georgia, these are your premier destinations.

1. Taste of Atlanta

Atlanta, Georgia

From October 21 to 23, Atlanta showcases the best of the best wine, beer, cocktails and restaurants it has to offer.

3. Hot Air Balloon Festival

Kennesaw, Georgia

4. Ghost Tours

Savannah, Georgia

Being a historical town, it is said that in Savannah, Georgia many spirits still lurk the streets each night. If you’re trying to get your scare on in South Georgia, Savannah is known for their incredible ghost tours.

5. Fairs

On my top 10 best things about the South is that, if you walk five feet around anywhere after Sept., you’ll probably find a funnel cake. Fairs litter the streets of Georgia in the fall, and it’s a great annual tradition to continue this year.

6. Netherworld

Norcross, Georgia

Located in Norcross, Georgia is Netherworld, among the best haunted houses in the country. This is hands-down the greatest Halloween destination in Georgia. This year, the two haunt themes are monsters and “Vault 13: MELTDOWN.” If you’re trying to get chased around by some of the most terrifying and talented people in the business, head this way before November 5. Tickets range from $23 to $55 and can be purchased at fearworld.com.

7. Ellijay, Georgia

From apple orchards to pumpkin fields, you can surround yourself in autumn in the small mountain town Ellijay, Georgia. People travel miles to pick apples up at Red Apple Barn and to get lost in the changing season. If you want to have the perfect fall day, spend it in Ellijay.
