Fun Fall Festivals

 

It may not be cooling down quite yet, but fall is on its way, and with it, some new ways to have fun in the Metro area!

The new season is a great excuse to get out and explore the neighborhood or try something new. There are plenty of fall festivals and fairs around town, but we found some of the best and rounded them up here! 


Dragon Con 

You won't have to wait long for this event! This weekend, Atlanta will host Dragon Con,  a pop-culture convention where you can see everything from Storm Troopers to Spiderman. The event will take place over Labor Day weekend and includes autograph sessions, workshops, author readings,  an art show, and more! For those not wanting to register and attend the indoor festivities, you can always make your way to Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta on Saturday. During the parade, super-fans will cosplay as their favorite characters and make their way through the city. You never quite know just who you will see at this famous Atlanta event! 


Music Midtown 

Another famous Atlanta event will be taking place in just a few weeks. Music Midtown, Atlanta's premier music festival, will take place September 18th and 19th in Piedmont Park. More than 30 artists of all genres will perform across 4 stages in the park. Some of this year's headliners include Maroon 5, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, and Megan Thee Stallion. The festival also hosts hundreds of food vendors for plenty of snacking options while enjoying the live performances. 


Yellow Daisy Festival 

For the craft-lovers, the Yellow Daisy Festival is a perfect place to spend a fall afternoon. Held at Stone Mountain Park on September 9 through 12, the Yellow Daisy craft Festival will host hundreds of artisans from jewelry makers, woodworkers, painters, and crafters of all kinds. It's a great place to get inspired and score unique finds for you or a loved one. Artisans are spread amongst shaded walking paths, and there are also plenty of food vendors so you can make a day of it! 


Woodland Spirits Walk 

If you're itching for the spooky Halloween holiday to arrive, you can get your haunt on early with Fernbank Museum's Woodland Spirit exhibit beginning September 18. The outdoor experience features the art of Atlanta artist, Laura Lewis. Visitors will encounter supernatural ghostly figures and creatures inspired by literary dark forests. 


Of course, we're excited to see the return of football as well this month! Of course, you know who Mr. Perrie will be rooting for this weekend - Go Dawgs!

However you decide to spend the start to the season, we hope you enjoy getting out and exploring all that the Atlanta area has to offer!

According to HomeLight , issues with the appraisal accounted for 27% of delayed contracts, and 14% of terminated contracts as of July 2021. Though the market may try to force buyers to push the appraisal away and pay with cash, it's important to understand the appraisal process and consider it carefully.  What is a home appraisal?  According to NerdWallet , a home appraisal is an estimation of the home's value, as determined by a licensed appraiser.
