Cool fall weather is right around the corner, or so the calendar tells us. That can only mean one thing: It’s time to prep for Halloween!
And what better way to celebrate the season than a classic pumpkin festival — returning to Stone Mountain Park this weekend.
Until the beginning of November, every weekend at the park will feature thousands of jack-o'-lanterns, a four-story tall pumpkin tower, costumed characters and a pie-eating contest.
At night, the park will light up with glow-in-the-dark attractions, including a parade, new themed areas, a dance party and an “Alice in Wonderland”-inspired games section.
The festival is inside the park's attractions area, meaning you'll need a ticket to visit, on top of general park admission. (You can get an All-Attractions pass for about $25 if you come wearing a costume.)
The family-friendly fest begins Saturday, Sept. 21 and runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until Nov. 3.
