Henry County, y’all staying in this weekend or getting OUT? 😂🍂 Because if your weekend plans currently consist of sitting on the couch scrolling through your phone, we might be able to change that. Whether you’re trying to get the kids out of the house, plan a date night, hang with friends, or just find something different to do, you’ve got options! 🎡 For the families who need to get these kids out of the house The Henry County Fair/Kiwanis Fair is happening at Nash Farm Park in Hampton! Rides, food, games, and plenty of opportunities to spend money you didn’t plan on spending. 😂 📍 4361 Jonesboro Road, Hampton Saturday: 1–11 PM | Sunday: 1–9 PM Admission: $10 | Ride wristbands sold separately. And if you’re looking for something FREE, downtown McDonough is hosting its Fall Festival on the Square Saturday from noon to 4 PM. Vendors, food, music, and family activities. 🎃 For the fall-obsessed people Southern Belle Farm in McDonough has the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and all the fall activities for your seasonal pictures. Want to venture outside Henry County? Covington and Conyers both have free fall festivals Saturday. 👻 For the people who actually WANT to be scared You have a few options: • Terror Mills Haunted House in Jackson – Friday and Saturday nights, $25. • Netherworld in Stone Mountain – Open throughout the weekend, with ticket prices varying. • CURE Z at Quieten Labs in Hampton – A zombie-themed escape room. Perfect for seeing which one of your friends would leave everybody behind during a zombie apocalypse. 😂 🎸 For the grown folks looking for something to do Southern Roots Tavern in McDonough has tribute bands scheduled this weekend, including Metallica and AC/DC tribute performances. Or make a night of it and head toward Atlanta. Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Starset are scheduled to perform in Alpharetta Saturday evening. 🏈 And for the sports fans… The Falcons take on the Chicago Bears Sunday at 1 PM at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 🏎️ Want something different? There’s also a NASCAR driving experience at EchoPark Speedway in Hampton on Saturday. Definitely not your typical weekend activity! 🎉 If you’re willing to make the drive to Atlanta… • Little Five Points Halloween Festival and Parade – Free, with the parade scheduled for Sunday. • Stone Mountain Highland Games – A weekend of Scottish traditions, competitions, and entertainment. • High Museum Centennial Block Party – Free outdoor celebration Sunday from noon to 5 PM. Now here’s what I want to know… Are we doing family activities, date night, girls’ night, or absolutely NOTHING this weekend? 😂 And while we’re at it, where do y’all actually go for a good time around Henry County? Put us on to something! 👀
