The quiet towns

The quiet towns this weekend are Winder, Flowery Branch, Grayson, Sugar Hill, Duluth, Loganville, and Johns Creek: nothing was confirmed inside their own city limits for October 30 - November 1, so their own guides say so plainly. Hoschton has one confirmed entry: the Downtown Development Authority's Truck-or-Treat on Friday evening, 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at 61 City Square Street. Dacula's nearest confirmed stop is the Hamilton Mill trunk-or-treat on Friday, and it sits in the day lists above. Buford's answer runs through the season as well: the Trail of Terror at Lanier Islands and the corn maze and Scream Zone on Bennett Road are both open all weekend, and the biggest single day of the year is Halloween itself, Saturday, October 31.

When the weather turns cold or wet, Buford has an indoor plan made for it: the new Living Spaces store off Gravel Springs Road, Georgia's largest furniture store, with a kids' facility, a coffee bar, and plenty of couches to sit on. Read the field note on Living Spaces in Buford .

Plan by city instead

Every city guide keeps its own this-weekend page, and the small-town guides fold the calendar into their consolidated everyday guide.
