One of the largest fall festivals in the southeast will return to Gwinnett County this weekend for its 38th celebration.

The Duluth Fall Festival will kick off at 8 am. Saturday and go through Sunday afternoon. Downtown will be filled with the sound of live music from more than 20 acts and hundreds of booths selling food and arts and crafts.

The festival typically draws more than 100,000 guests.
