FREE: Trunk-or-Treat at Roswell City Hall, sponsored by police and firefighters

Hilda — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 08:53:00 +0000

On Friday, October 30th, 2026, you can bring the kids to a FREE trunk-or-treat event in front of Roswell City Hall, located at 38 Hill Street.

The event takes place from 4 to 7 p.m.

This year there will be photo opps, games, a petting zoo, and lots of candy.

Costumes are encouraged!
More info

Trunk-or-Treat is a different spin on trick-or-treating. It’s meant to be safe and fun, it’s suitable for suburban areas that aren’t so walkable, and it eliminates concerns about traffic or crossing streets in the dark.

The idea is that local businesses, organizations, and community members hand out treats from a parked car with a decorated trunk. Kids can “trunk or treat” from car to car to get goodies.

40+ Trick-or-Treat (and Trunk-or-Treat) events in Atlanta & suburbs

Hilda — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 19:35:00 +0000

Are you looking for Trick-or-Treat (or Trunk-or-Treat) events in the greater Atlanta area? Here are a bunch of them, starting in early October and running all through Halloween weekend.

If you’d rather bring your kids to an organized event, rather than going door to door, these are great options. They take place at churches, schools, shopping malls, and more.

Trunk-or-Treat events take place in parks and community center parking lots. This is a different spin on trick-or-treating. It’s meant to be safe and fun, it’s suitable for suburban areas that aren’t so walkable, and it eliminates concerns about traffic or crossing streets in the dark.

The idea with Trunk-or-Treat is that local businesses, organizations, and community members hand out treats from a parked car with a decorated trunk. Kids can “trunk or treat” from car to car to get goodies.

At these events, there is often more than just candy gathering. Some happen along with fall festivals or Halloween parties, so you might find entertainment, costume contests and parades, or free outdoor movies.

The best fall festivals & fairs around metro Atlanta — things to do in October & November

Hilda — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 18:55:00 +0000

The best fall festivals in metro Atlanta in 2026 — including state fairs, county fairs, carnivals, harvest celebrations, Oktoberfests, arts and music festivals, and more!

Fall festival season in Atlanta kicks off around Labor Day Weekend, when it still feels like summer, and continues until Thanksgiving — and then it’s time for tree and menorah lightings, ice rinks, and holiday fun.

This list includes festivals, carnivals, and fairs that are taking place in September, October, and November. This is the most complete listing you will find!

The events take place across the extended metro Atlanta region — so you can plan a day trip or stick close to home.

As always, we emphasize festivals with FREE admission, but there are exceptions. The state and county fairs have an admission charge at the gate, and of course you’ll pay for rides — but for each one, we keep a list of ticket discounts and ways to save money.

We also have a guide to Atlanta summer festivals and a humongous list of Atlanta spring festivals.

Festivals in September

From Labor Day Weekend’s end-of-summer vibe through the first cooler days of autumn, you’ll find plenty to do.

Chewy stock-up deal: Get a FREE $25 eGift Card when you spend $100 (plus free shipping), thru Sunday

Hilda — Fri, 23 Oct 2026 09:54:35 +0000

Chewy is currently running one of my favorite deals — spend $100 and get a FREE $25 Chewy eGift Card to use on a future order.
If you’re able to spend a hundred bucks upfront, it’s well worth it to essentially get $25-worth of free items later.

Interested?
The offer runs thru Sunday, October 25, 2026.

Note that some pet brands and certain items will be excluded from the offer.
(See the fine print below)

Shop for qualifying items here — you can use the filters and categories on the right-hand menu to help you narrow the choices by the kind of pet you have or the of product you’re shopping for.

As you shop, make sure you see the red DEAL tag next to the photo of the item.
Then, underneath, you’ll see more tags for the deals that apply to the item.
You’re looking for the one that says: Spend $100, Get $25 eGift Card with code FALL.

But you may also want to take advantage of any other deal you see on a product you use or would like to try.

Important: You must be signed into your Chewy account to view the promotions that are applicable to you.

Just add your items to your cart, add promo code FALL, and check out.
Chewy offers FREE shipping for orders over $49!

How it works

For every $100 purchase of eligible items you make with promo code FALL, you’ll receive a $25 eGift Card. It is typically added to your account once your purchase ships.

You’re limited to one use per order — so if you spend $200, you won’t get two eGift Cards
(HINT: split that up into two separate orders)

The good news?
You can do this TWICE.

This is what I do, for maximum savings:
Once the $25 gift card is applied to my account, I start a second $100 order (but pay only $75 for it because I use the gift card), and earn another gift card.

The fine print

Customer must be logged into account to view all applicable promotions.

Have some hauntingly good fun at a Little Five Points Ghost Tour

Have some spooky fun in Little Five Points this fall!
The L5P Ghost tours begin on October 9th and run thru November 1st in 2026.

This is a walking tour of about a mile in length.
With storytelling stops, it lasts about 90 minutes.

On some evenings there are multiple tours.

Little Five Points is one of Atlanta’s most interesting neighborhoods, with a distinctively Bohemian vibe. The tours will focus on the history and hauntings of this area.

Ghost Tours start in Findley Plaza at the corner of Euclid and Moreland Avenues.
The L5P Community Center (1083 Austin Ave.) down the street will provide complementary parking for Ghost Tour participants.

The tours are rain-or-shine, so dress accordingly.

Tour tickets are $30 for adults and $20 for kids.

Back this year is the Boo-ze Crawl on select evenings.
You’ll hear stories of spirits while you drink a few spirits in L5P dive bars. Adults only, of course!
Get tour tickets here

And don’t forget about the Little Five Points Halloween Festival and Parade, on Oct. 17 and 18!

Double-Check Before You Head Out!

We strive for 100% accuracy on Atlanta on the Cheap.

However, sometimes things change without notice, and it's also possible that we can make a mistake.

Please verify all deals and events with the venue or organizer before you go.

Getting there and parking

Parking around the L5P area is always a challenge, even on the best of days. If you can, leave the car at home. Instead, walk, bike, scooter, ride MARTA, or take a rideshare service.

The closest MARTA station is Inman Park / Reynoldstown, on the blue/green (east/west) line.

Walking directions from Inman Park Station to L5P:

Exit the station, following the signs pointing to Inman Park.
Turn left on Dekalb Avenue
Turn left onto the ramp down to Moreland Avenue
Turn left on Euclid Avenue

If you drive, there is a small parking lot at the L5P Community Center. This is the same building where the Horizon Theatre is located (it’s an old school). Be sure to lock your car and remove any valuables.

TIP:
There is tons of free parking at the Carter Center, and we’ve found it to be an easy walk in to L5P from there.

Cobb County’s Haunted House is operated by the county itself, so it’s a far more affordable option than the for-profit haunted attractions that spring up at this time of year.

Stone Mountain’s Pumpkin Festival Glow-by-Night attraction is open on weekends

Hilda — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 02:12:00 +0000

Light shows aren’t just for Christmas anymore!
The 2026 Pumpkin Festival at Stone Mountain Park has a theme of Play by Day, Glow by Night and it is amazing! See the section below for all the available discounts on this attraction.

The Pumpkin Festival is a special attraction that takes place on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

The attraction opens on Saturday, Sept. 19th and runs through November 1st, 2026.
It’s also open on Columbus Day, Monday, October 12th.

The fun starts in the afternoon, and the glow attractions light up at dusk.
If you go by day, you can enjoy most of the regular park attractions.
But the immersive Glow By Night experience is where it’s at! This year’s glow display is even bigger and brighter, with plenty of nighttime experiences that are perfect for date night as well as for families.

Details below!

Details for the Pumpkin Festival attraction

Pumpkin Festival Play by Day, Glow by Night is a gated event. That means you’ll need either a daily Attractions Pass or annual Mountain Membership to access the event and the attractions.

The All-Attractions Pass is regularly priced at $39.95.

Remember, you’ll pay $20 to park at Stone Mountain — so it’s often worth it to invest in a $40 annual parking pass if you’ll go more than once in a year. Your pass is good for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a vibrant Mexican holiday celebrated from October 31 to November 2. This festive occasion is dedicated to honoring and remembering loved ones who have passed away.

Unlike Halloween, which focuses on spookiness, Día de los Muertos is a joyful celebration of life and death. Traditional elements include colorful altars, marigolds, sugar skulls, and traditional foods. Families come together to create ofrendas (altars) adorned with photos, candles, and the favorite items of the deceased, welcoming their spirits back for a brief reunion.

Here are a few FREE events celebrating Day of the Dead, happening all around metro Atlanta.

Get FREE tickets for the Fox Theatre’s Holiday Extravaganza, happening on Nov. 29th

Hilda — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 05:36:00 +0000

Once again, the Fox Theatre will open its doors for its annual Holiday Extravaganza FREE event.
This year, it’s happening on Thanksgiving weekend, instead of in December.

The show, titled Merry Mighty Mo & More, takes place on on Sunday, November 29, 2026 at 4 p.m.
This is a more family-friendly time than in the past, when the event took place on a mid-week evening.

As always, the show is FREE to attend, but you must get tickets for your family online.
Tickets are available to reserve NOW — details below!

This event is a way the Fox gives back to the community. It features “Mighty Mo,” the 3,622-pipe organ that was custom made for the Fox in 1929. It is the second-largest theater organ in the world, according to Atlanta Magazine.

About the event

Before the Holiday Extravaganza starts at 4 p.m., families can get FREE photos with Santa Claus on the mezzanine level.

You can also enjoy holiday music from the a cappella quartet Like The Dickens, performing throughout the front lobbies.

Then, the show kicks off with a holiday sing-along, led by an organist on the Mighty Mo organ.

The festivities continue with a special concert by Michelle Malone and The Hot Toddies.
The act is known for their reinterpretations of classic holiday tunes and modern favorites.

And the act wraps up with a movie screaming of the holiday classic, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas.

Seating in the theater is General Admission, meaning there are no reserved seats.

If you’re looking to elevate your experience, you can purchase passes to the Marquee Club — featuring holiday décor, early entry, pre-show buffet, private restrooms, and premium bars. A special appearance by the Coca-Cola Polar Bear adds to the seasonal fun.

Things to know:

Free event open to the entire family
Doors open at 3:00 p.m.
Marquee Club opens at 2:30 p.m. (passes are $6o per person)
General Admission seating — so arrive early!
On-site FREE photo opportunities with Santa Claus
Christmas Carols Sing-A-Long led by the famous “Mighty Mo” organ, one of the largest Mollër theater organs in the world
A screening of Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas.
A performance by an a capella quartet

The Fox Theatre is located in midtown Atlanta, on Peachtree Street near the corner of Ponce de Leon Ave.

How to reserve your FREE ticket
