Pumpkin Patches are already open at a couple of East Cobb churches, and other faith communities and other arts and musical groups have Halloween-themed events through October.
Here’s a sampling of what we’ve got for this week, and if you have something to submit to our calendar listings, check the information at the bottom of this post:
Pumpkin Patches continue through Oct. 31 at Mt. Zion UMC (1770 Johnson Ferry Road) and St. Andrew UMC (3455 Canton Road).
Both churches will have weekend events to get into the mood of the season, which hasn’t felt much like fall, but cooler weather is expected later this week.
On Friday (11-6) and Saturday (10-4( is the 17th Fall into Crafts Marketplace at St. Andrew, an early and easy way to start holiday shopping while benefitting the church’s women’s mission projects.
On Saturday, Mt. Zion is having its Party in the Patch event from 10-2, and kids are invited to show up in their costumes for treats, games and a lunch for purchase.
On Sunday afternoon, treat your kids and the whole family to a Ghost and Goblins Concert that starts at 4 at the Lassiter Concert Hall (2601 Shallowford Road), featuring the sounds of the Georgia Philharmonic.
Other events during the month include Trunk or Treat events at several churches as well as Sprayberry High School, a fall festival at The Avenue East Cobb, a community fair at Paper Mill Road Baptist Church and a special haunted theater production at Pope High School.
