Instagram Worthy Reasons to Visit Atlanta in the Fall!

11 reasons to Visit Atlanta in the Fall!

Although I am sad to see another summer go in Atlanta, fall is definitely my favorite time of year. The summer months tend to be very hot and humid with daytime temperatures up to 92 degrees. But, during the fall, the weather cools down to 60 and 70 temperatures and there is less humidity in the air. In this quick post I will share with you Instagram worthy reasons to visit Atlanta in the fall!

Cheers from Sippin Safari @zooatl wine tasting, live music and tasty bites! ?????? #onlyzooatl

1. The Parks & Trails:
As mentioned above, the weather is very pleasant during the fall. Besides the cooler temperatures you also get to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage. Red, yellow and auburn leaves line the streets and parks. One of my favorite parks in Atlanta is Grant Park. It is a very historic area and a quiet family friendly park. Within Grant Park you will find Zoo Atlanta which has fall events for Halloween as well as “Sippin Safari”. Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta is a great place to visit any time of year but in the fall they have a wonderful art festival. You can stroll though the park while enjoying live music and hundreds of local and national artists. Atlanta Botanical Gardens is located in Piedmont Park. During the fall they have a display entitled “Scarecrows in the Garden”. You can also enjoy live music and brew events. Candler Park is a very quaint neighborhood in Atlanta and they host a fall festival which showcases local food vendors and artists. You can even attend a tour of the homes in the area. Every weekend during the month of October, Stone Mountain Park hosts a pumpkin festival with puppet parades and costume contests. One of the best places to experience the fall foliage in Atlanta is on Silver Comet Trail. Go for a casual stroll or go bike riding or running while you take in the beauty all around you.

I am intrigued by the Halloween decorations in my neighborhood! I almost feel bad that I didn’t put anything up! If you are planning to visit Atlanta I definitely suggest doing so in the fall. It is gorgeous! No humidity, blue skies, 70-80 degree weather, all the fall colors to behold and yes-homes decorated like this for Halloween! ??

Fall in my neighborhood. #nofilter I absolutely love summertime. The sand and the beaches and BBQs. But then there are days like this when I go for a walk and the air is clear with no humidity, the temperature is warm, the sky is blue and you have colors like this all around you. Whoa!

Because it’s Monday and Because it Fall! Who else loves Pumpkin everything this time of year? Pumpkin bread, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin scones, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin latte….

2. Food Festivals: Atlanta is a big foodie town so you can expect several food festivals in the fall. During Taste of Atlanta the streets of Midtown Atlanta are shut down for food, wine and dessert booths from restaurants all over the city. Another great food festival is the Atlanta Burger Battle which started last year. I really enjoyed sampling the juicy and creative burger offerings.

I’m so happy to have Jamaican food @tasteofatlanta I could cry! These are codfish fritters. Yum! I am a Kingstonian meaning that my family is from Kingston, Jamaica. Have you ever been to Kingston or anywhere in Jamaica?

Enjoying @atlantamagazine Best Burger Battle @shopbuckheadatl with my husband! So far our favorites are Venkman’s and Two Urban Licks!

My second favorite burger @atlantamagazine Best Burger Battle was from @twourbanlicks If you haven’t been to this restaurant on the beltline you have to check it out. Amazing views too!

3. Atlanta Day Trips: There are several great towns nearby to visit in the fall. Take a road trip to Elijay for wine tasting, apple picking and the most delicious apple apple pastries, pies and cakes. Or, drive up to the North Georgia mountains for wine tasting. Last year I attend a fall festival at the Montuluce Winery. Oktoberfest in Helen Georgia is also very popular this time of year.

Atlanta day trip to Ellijay GA! October is National Apple Month! I had no idea there where so many types of apples! Yum!

A post shared by Nadeen. (@thesophislife) on Oct 14, 2016 at 11:08am PDT

Oh it is so pretty up here! And the wines are good too ??I you visit Ellijay make a stop @engelheimvineyards

A beautiful fall day at Montaluce Vineyard in Northern Georgia. I may travel far but I also enjoy exploring areas closer to home as well. Don’t forget to do both!

If you need me today you can find me in the beautiful vineyards of @alpinehelenga @kayavineyards

  • Can you tell I’m excited to go back to my homeland of Jamaica 🇯🇲?!!! I even had my nails and toes polished in green and I’m wearing as much green gold and black as possible since it’s Jamaica Independence weekend!! 

Where are my Jamaican friends & followers? Raise your hands in the comments!

  • FINALLY!! I’m going back to JAMAICA 🇯🇲!
Jamaica is my homeland and I haven’t been since 2015 and even prior to that they were for sad occasions. This time it’s for a family reunion during @visitjamaica 60th Independence weekend!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲
I can’t wait to get updated pictures and videos of this beautiful island 🏝 

Jamaica is good food, good vibes, it’s rum punch 🍹 and reggae and dancehall, it’s jerk chicken and ackee & salt fish and beautiful beaches and soft sand. It’s waterfalls and cliffs and sunsets 🌆 

Have you been to Jamaica? What was your favorite experience?

  • #winedownwednesday in Atlanta @3parkswine w @acorkintheroad and @thehiphopsomm tasting Portuguese and Cali wines! My favorite was the Vinho Verde which I drank the entire time I was in Portugal, but they ran out! 

I ran into so many of my wine friends including @vinoandllc @leliyg_wine @diversifiedvines @lotusvinewine and my cousin @janene0 and her family even joined in on the fun. 

Definitely check out this Black female owned wine 🍷 shop when you are in Atlanta. There is a great variety of wine and a lot of Black-owned brands. I picked up the @houseofbrown.wine Rosé I ❤️the Chardonnay they put out last year so I’m looking forward to trying it. And I also bought the @lafeterose Blanc de Blancs. This brand is famous for the Rosé but this is a white wine. 

Have you been to @3parkswine ? They also have growlers which is pretty cool. Shout out to the owner @sarahpierre1 who is also a mentor for the @huetothecor_atl

SPECIAL BY @lizzobeeating Have you listened to the album yet? I’m going thru the 🎶 songs and the track “Special” is on constant rotation!!
The lyrics are so needed right now. There have been several suicides reported in the media and the medical community and I often wonder if we just stopped and told people how special they are, if we just stopped and checked on the “strong” friends, the ones that on the outside seemed to have it all together, if we just stopped judging people and accepted them for who they are….maybe things would be different. 

If you are feeling down listen 🎧 to this song and remind yourself that no matter what anyone else says-you are special. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are special!!!

  • What’s your answer to this question about my home airport in Atlanta?! I have gotten so used to it over the past 10 years that I tend to defend it lol 

But I flew thru @visitdetroit airport the last few days and it was so pleasant! First of all, you did not have to take a train to get to your gate. Granted the walk was long to my gate this morning but they had people movers which made it go faster and I needed some exercise 😆😆
They did have cute red Delta trains that you could take that were within the terminals. 
It was less crowded. Whew 
The shuttles to the rental car lots were right outside and the lots were not far. 
And one of the things I hate the most about our airport now is how far you have to walk to get to Uber/Lyft. It is just not safe during later hours. 

And some astonishing facts about the Atlanta airport from 2019 data:
✈️ it sees 107 million passengers a year, over 300,000 a day and employs more than 60K people. I can tell by the Clear & TSA lines getting longer lol

What’s your favorite airport in the world?! I haven’t been there yet but Singapore 🇸🇬 Changi Airport is often listed as #1. I saw Doha and Tokyo Haneda on recent lists. I loved the Dubai airport because I didn’t hours in the @emirates business class lounge!!! 😍😍
