Fall Weekends in Alpharetta, Georgia
Local outings and a relaxing place to come home Looking for things to do in Alpharetta this fall? Late October and early November 2026 offer time to explore downtown’s Scarecrow Harvest, shop the final weeks of the Alpharetta Farmers Market, and enjoy an outdoor break on the Big Creek Greenway. Build a full Saturday around a local outing, or leave room for an unhurried afternoon at home. At Collingwood Apartment Homes on Kimball Bridge Road, a wooded setting and access to Alpharetta’s shopping, dining, and recreation give you options for both. Here are a few ways to enjoy the season. Catch Scarecrow Harvest before November 1 You still have time to see Scarecrow Harvest, which runs throughout Downtown Alpharetta through November 1, 2026. The displays feature creations from local schools, businesses, and community groups, so a downtown stroll lets you see some local personality. Make it a casual outing: look for a favorite scarecrow, take a few photos, and leave time for coffee or lunch. If you enjoy a challenge, the event also includes a Scarecrow Puzzle Hunt; details are available on the official event page. Shop the final weeks of the farmers market The Alpharetta Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings through November 14, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Alpharetta City Center Town Green, 2 Park Plaza. Browse produce, baked goods, and items from local makers, then let what you find shape your weekend menu. A loaf of bread can start a soup night. Fresh flowers can brighten your dining table, and a market treat gives you something to share when a friend stops by. Bring a shopping bag and consider browsing before deciding what to buy. Vendor selections can vary, so leave room for an unexpected find. Take a fall walk on the Big Creek Greenway For a quieter outing, explore the Big Creek Greenway. Its paved path is ideal for walking, running, or cycling along the creek. Choose a short out-and-back walk or spend more time outdoors, depending on your schedule. Plan your visit during daylight, check current trail conditions, and choose a route that suits your pace. A walk can be the main event or a refreshing stop between weekend errands. Leave part of the weekend open A good fall weekend also leaves time to enjoy where you live. At Collingwood, walking trails, mature trees, and a lake offer a chance to pause outdoors without planning another outing. Inside, think about the spot where you most like to unwind. Depending on your apartment’s layout, that might be a sunroom with a book, a patio with a warm drink, or a comfortable place to watch a movie. Collingwood’s one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes offer different ways to make that time your own. Features vary by apartment.
