3 p.m. – Event begins with live music and roaming entertainment
3:30 p.m. – Cornhole ATL tournament starts
4 p.m. – Hayrides commence

More details have been provided that NAP has passed along as noted below, with the event slated from 3-6 p.m.:

Starting at 3 p.m., Super Deluxe band will get the Central Boulevard rockin’ with crowd-favorite tunes. Throughout the afternoon, complimentary face painting, balloon art, hayrides and other surprise offerings will be available for guests to enjoy. Cornhole ATL is also hosting a cornhole tournament during Fall Fest and interested participants can pre-register online (October 8 deadline). Tournament winners will receive an Avenue East Cobb Experience basket filled with retailer and restaurant goodies.

Before Fall Fest officially kicks off, the first-ever Artist’s Row, curated by the Marietta Arts Festival, will come to life in the Avenue’s Central Boulevard and feature hand-crafted goods from local makers. The Artist’s Row opens at 2 p.m. and attendees are encouraged to arrive early to select their favorite pieces. A full list of participating artists can be viewed here.

All Fall Fest activities will happen in the Central Boulevard between Kale Me Crazy and Banana Republic. Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar will also provide drinks for purchase at its pop-bar in the Central Boulevard all afternoon long.

Avenue Active:

Every Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. in September and October, wellness enthusiasts can experience barre classes led by onsite fitness studio barre3. Instructors will lead a full-body workout that combines strength conditioning, cardio and mindfulness, designed to leave attendees feeling balanced and empowered. Guests are encouraged to bring their own mats and to grab an Active Avenue punch card upon checking-in. For every class attended, guests will receive a punch on their card, which can be redeemed for exclusive branded items for every four classes attended.

Comedy Live at The Avenue:

Start your month off with big laughs during Comedy Live at The Avenue, happening the first Monday of the month now through November. From 7 to 8 p.m., attendees can unwind during live performances from Punchline Comedy Club, while enjoying beverages available for purchase from onsite restaurant Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar. The next Comedy Live at The Avenue will be hosted on October 4. Guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the show. Shows are recommended for ages 13 and older.

In addition to seasonal events, The Avenue East Cobb will host its first-ever Ladies Night Out on Thursday, September 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. The event invites women to indulge in an evening full of shopping, beauty, entertainment, giveaways and more. Upon arrival, attendees should check-in at the pop-up Concierge station, located at the Central Boulevard, to receive a stroll map highlighting all available offers from participating retailers and restaurants, such as Ann Taylor, Injectables Express, KSquared Artistan Boutique, and Stockyard Burger and Bones. The first 50 ladies to check-in will receive a swag bag.
