Georgia Events This Weekend: October 30–November 1, 2026

16 Georgia listings have dates that overlap Friday through Sunday, October 30–November 1, 2026. 5 are fairs, festivals, and one-day events, and the other 11 are longer seasons that are open during part of the weekend.

Georgia’s fall weekends run from the mountains to the coast. Helen bills its Oktoberfest as the longest-running in the country, and Dawsonville has both Burt’s Pumpkin Farm and the 15-acre corn maze at Uncle Shuck’s. Jaemor Farms in Alto, the sheep farm maze at Cress Creeks in Ellijay and the storybook trails at Rock City on Lookout Mountain round out the north, while Poppell Farms in Odum and Spring Hill Farm in Bainbridge run harvest seasons in the south.

It’s also county fair country. The Georgia-Carolina State Fair in Augusta, the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fair in Statesboro, the North Georgia Fair in Dalton and the Elberton 12-County Fair keep the midways running through late October. On the coast, Jekyll Island holds its Shrimp & Grits Festival in the Historic District, and Savannah hosts the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. Dawsonville’s Mountain Moonshine Festival celebrates the county’s moonshining past and its claim as the birthplace of stock car racing.

Atlanta leans spooky. Oakland Cemetery leads costumed after-dark tours and then holds a Día de Muertos afternoon, NETHERWORLD has been scaring guests since 1997, and Stone Mountain Park’s Pumpkin Festival plays by day and glows by night. The Blue Angels headline the Air Dot Show in Peachtree City.

November brings Mule Day in Calvary, Cabbagetown’s Chomp & Stomp and the Georgia Veterans Day Parade, then the light shows: Garden Lights, Holiday Nights at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Magical Nights of Lights at Lanier Islands and Holly Jolly Jekyll.

Fair hours and farm nights vary, so look up the day before you drive.
