Start your week with some fall-inspired activities or some live music. With Halloween right around the corner, here are some fun ways to enjoy your Monday.
PumpKing patch at Ponce City Market
Get your fill of pumpkin patch vibes at the PumpKing Patch & Harvest Bar located on the lawn of Ponce City Market.
The PumpKing Patch will have pumpkins in all shapes, sizes, and colors. There will be games like pumpkin tic-tac-toe, cornhole, giant Jenga, and more. In the evening, you can stop by for a drink and hang out by one of the bonfire pits too.

Hike Red Top Mountain
Just 40 minutes north of Atlanta you’ll find a variety of trails as nice fall colors soon emerge. The easy, flat 4-mile Iron Hill Loop is open to bikes and foot traffic, offering great views of the lake and forest. Another good choice for lake views is the 5.5-mile Homestead Trail. Families with young children will like the paved walking path that leads to a log cabin and blacksmith shed. gastateparks.org/RedTopMountain
Another good place to hike close by is Sweetwater Creek State Park in Lithia Springs. Just west of Atlanta, you’ll find 9 miles of hiking trails, a beautiful creek and small lake. For an easy walk, take the popular 1-mile Red Trail, which follows the creek to the ruins of an old mill. For more of a workout, continue past the mill to the Blue Trail, where you’ll climb steep bluffs for outstanding creek views. gastateparks.org/SweetwaterCreek
