Atlanta Fall Festivals & Fairs 2026

I am officially ready for a break from the summer heat! My mind is already dreaming about crisp fall days, colorful leaves, pumpkin patches, apple picking, and, of course, all of the Atlanta Fall Festivals and Fairs 2026 has to offer. I know fall may still be a little ways away, but a girl can plan ahead, can’t she?

Atlanta knows how to do fall, and once September rolls around, the calendar starts filling up with festivals, fairs, concerts, and plenty of fun things to do. September feels like the unofficial kickoff to the fall season, and the events continue throughout October and November. I love having a list like this because I can start planning my weekends now—and trust me, there are plenty to choose from!

From art festivals and live music to county fairs, food festivals, cultural celebrations, and family-friendly events, there is something for everyone. I’ve rounded up some of the best Atlanta Fall Festivals and Fairs for 2026, organized by September, October, and November, so you can easily find something fun to add to your fall calendar.

Are you excited?

Whether you’re looking for a local county fair, an arts and crafts festival, live music, great food, or a fun family outing, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the season. I’ll be updating this list throughout the 2026 fall season as dates and event details are announced or confirmed, so be sure to check back before making your plans.

And of course, fall festivals and fairs aren’t the only things on my fall bucket list. Apple picking, exploring a pumpkin patch, enjoying the changing leaves, and finding all those cozy fall experiences are must-dos for me every year. I’ve already put together my list of Best Fall Activities in Georgia to help you make the most of the season.

So grab your calendar, start making those plans, and get ready for cooler days, good food, live music, and all things fall around Atlanta!
