Athens GA Fall Festivals and Events

Fall is festival season in Athens, Georgia. Football fans of course head to Athens to watch the UGA Bulldogs play "between the hedges," but there's more fun to be had when the Dawgs are away. Athens GA is truly a hot spot for fall festivals and events, taking advantage of wonderful fall Georgia weather. 

You'll find that fall is an extremely popular time for local artists to show off their unique styles, for musicians to perform for crowds, and to just get out and enjoy nature

From haunted history tours to the Wild Rumpus to Zombie Farms and other spooky events throughout the month, you'll find new Halloween activities to consider your favorites!
