21 Ways To Do Autumn In Atlanta

Ah, that time of year in Atlanta when you wake up shivering, and by afternoon- sweating. Autumn. The season of cinnamon broomsticks, everyone's carnival photos congesting your Instagram feed, and yes, the PSL. (If you can't beat em', join em'. Pumpkin and coffee are great together, okay?) Canceled classes, fall breaks, and fair weather mean adventures among the changing leaves. So loop that flannel around your waist and get ready to check off your Atlanta Autumn Bucket List- squad in tow, of course.

1. Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival

2. Interactive Sleepy Hollow Yes, the Headless Horseman can get creepier in Serenbe Playhouse's spooky audience-involved classic.

3. Coffee and Sweets at Revolution Doughnuts A sweet carrot cake or orange pistachio complemented with a cup of black coffee is the best food for your fall adventure fuel.

4. Take a walk through Centennial Olympic Park It might be too cold to play in them, but you can still catch the fountain light show (and the park is always so lovely this time of year).

5. Taste of Atlanta 3-Day Food Festival

6. Visit Little Five Points Catch the parade, some live music, or just browse around admiring the many festively themed storefronts while thrifting your Rocky Horror-inspired Halloween costume.

7. Get a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Copper Coin

8. See a Movie At Starlight Drive-In Theater

9. Hike a Waterfall Trail There's a whole assortment of them, a shorter drive away than you think! Check out a quick list here.

10. Visit the many celebratory LGBTQ events going on during the October month of PRIDE Pride at Piedmont may have passed, but a quick Google search will render a whole host of other rainbow-tinted celebrations, like the Queer Youth Fest.

11. MJCCA Book Festival Literature nerds, rejoice.

12. Grab a slice of Pumpkin Bread at Caribou Coffee

13. Take a short day trip to Burt's Farm Just a short drive from Atlanta you'll find Burt's Farm, which offers both hayrides and a massive pumpkin patch.

14. Wake up early and get brunch at West Egg


15. Take in the Atlanta skyline on top of Ponce City Market (and enjoy some friendly mini golf competition at the new Skyline Park now that the weather has cooled down).

16. Tons of colleges are doing their fall productions! Snag cheap ticket prices and support local theatre:

Oglethorpe University presents: Hair the Musical. Oct 21-30. Tickets

Georgia State University presents: Heathers the Musical. Nov 3-13. Tickets

Agnes Scott presents: Crooked. Oct 21-30. Tickets

Emory College presents: Romeo & Juliet. Nov 2-13. Tickets

17. Six Flags Fright Fest

18. Chattahoochee Coffee Company While the weather is still nice, enjoy a beverage hot or iced al fresco, riverside.

19. Rocky Horror at the Plaza Theater What better month to catch this cult classic than Halloween month?! It's just a jump to left...


20. Try a seasonal ice-cream flavor at Queen of Cream

21. Picnic in Piedmont Park Gather a blanket and your crew and enjoy the mild weather, plus the awesome view of Atlanta's skyline framed by autumn leaves.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
