The calendar · Updated October 26, 2026
This Weekend in Atlanta
The direct answer: Halloween weekend in Atlanta runs on Boo at the Zoo at Zoo Atlanta on Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Trick-or-Treat on the Roof candy hunt at Ponce City Market the same day, the Midtown Halloween Block Party on Friday night, and the Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival's closing weekend.
The Christmas holiday experience opens at Callanwolde in December, the next big dated draw on the intown calendar.
Friday through Sunday, October 30-November 1
Halloween weekend in the city
Boo at the Zoo runs Saturday, October 31, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Zoo Atlanta, included with admission. Trick-or-Treat on the Roof at Ponce City Market runs the same day, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with the family costume parade. The Midtown Halloween Block Party fills 30-plus Midtown bars Friday, 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., and the Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival closes Sunday with the Glow by Night parade. Each is verified against the organizer or the official tourism listing.
What never needs a date
The evergreen standbys
When the calendar is quiet, the at-the-door options are not: the BeltLine, Piedmont Park, and the intown neighborhoods all run without a ticket.
