As a grandparent in the Atlanta area trying to plan fun times with grandkids, do you sometimes feel like the seasons are passing too quickly? Rest assured even though Halloween sped by and most of autumn so far has been accompanied by summertime temps, there are still organized events celebrating autumn in the ATL.
Here are some awesome fall-themed events to enjoy this week:
School of Rock Woodstock Rock ‘n’ Roll Fall Fest 2024
1-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov, 9, free. Woodstock Arts Event Green, 111 Elm Street, Woodstock.
School of Rock Woodstock emphasizes music lessons from regional band members, and this free, all-ages festival is a chance to see the young bands perform while enjoying autumn scenery and fresh air. The music ranges from pop to rock to funk and R&B, so grandparents may enjoy it as much as the kids.
Look for cookbooks and shirts sold to support vulnerable kids in Cherokee County. And here’s your chance to BYOLC — bring your own lawn chair — if you haven’t gotten those out of the garage in a while.
4th Annual Lawrenceville Harvest Festival

Here are some folks still savoring autumn weather and customs. National acts and hometown favorites perform at Harvest Festival.

The music, activities and food are fall-themed, and enjoyable for the youngest members of the extended family and their caregivers. This is a not-to-be missed Sunday Funday opportunity.
