It’s starting to feel like fall, as a number of fall-oriented events are taking place across East Cobb this weekend.
The East Cobb office of Harry Norman Realtors is having its second annual Fall Festival on Friday from 4-7 (4651 Olde Towne Parkway) that’s a fundraiser for their non-profits, the Orange Duffel Bag Initiative and Canine Assistants.
Admission is $15 and features a pumpkin patch with supplies for decorating, face painting, games, vendors and artisans, a food truck (not included in the ticket price) and a raffle in which a lucky winner takes home half of the money raised.

Due to the COVID-19 response, it’s been four years since Holy Trinity Lutheran Church held its Oktoberfest celebration.
The German cultural festival returns Saturday from 10-6 on the grounds of the church (2922 Sandy Plains Road) with many of the same features: Music, food, a vendor fair, kids’ games and other activities, including a petting zoo.
Admission is $3, $7, $20 or equal cans of food to benefit MUST Ministries, and overflow parking will be available at the adjacent U.S. Post Office after 1 p.m.
On Sunday, the Good Mews Animal Foundation (3805 Robinson Road) is holding its annual Vaccination Clinic and Outdoor Market from 10-4 to support its programs caring for and placing homeless cats.
Vaccinations, microchipping and nail trimming services are available for dogs and cats (but you must sign up for an appointment by clicking here). The market takes place from 10-3 and includes a book sale, board games and puzzles, as well as gently-used pet merchandise.
