FALL in North Georgia

A guide to fall festivals and events throughout North Georgia.

Honestly Local

All About Fall in North Georgia There’s nothing like fall in the North Georgia mountains to put a spring in your step and make the sweltering days of a Georgia summer a distant memory. From small town festivals to roadside apple stands and pumpkin patches, the brightly colored leaves of autumn bring with them a season of natural beauty and fun family experiences. Whether your interest is hiking the hills, eating the food, buying the crafts or listening to the music, this guide will help you find where, when and how you can best enjoy the season.

It’s fall, y’all, so have fun. Norman Baggs General Manager The Times Forsyth County News Dawson County News
