Happy Labor Day Weekend! It’s always a bittersweet weekend as summer bids farewell and the leaves start to hint at the crisp weather to come… As much as we all love summer and the fun it brings, autumn is around the corner and with it comes apple picking, bonfires, hayrides, corn mazes, football season, and our personal fav – open window season! But don’t worry, knowing Georgia, you have plenty of hot summer days before autumn officially arrives!
So get ready to mark your calendars with our selection of North Atlanta events and happenings, guaranteed to make your long weekend an absolute blast!
