There are so many reasons to love Dawsonville, but your first autumn in this charming Georgia town will make you fall even harder. Dawsonville is such a fun place to call home, especially this time of year! With so many local traditions and activities, you’ll always have something to look forward to.
Eastwood Homes is proud to build in the town of Dawsonville, which is located about one hour north of Atlanta and offers its residents a place where individuals, families, and businesses can thrive. With sidewalks running throughout the city and convenient interstate access, residents of Dawsonville can easily stay connected with their community and the big-city benefits of nearby Atlanta. Residents of our Dawsonville communities, Arbor West and Villas at Dawsonville, will enjoy everything the city has to offer, including all the fall fun!
What says fall like the World’s Largest Drive-Through Pumpkin? Burt’s Pumpkin Farm, located in Dawsonville, features a hayride through their pumpkin farm, which includes Autumn & Gordy’s Harvest House, their brand-new interactive giant pumpkin, and the World’s Largest Drive-Through Pumpkin. Find a pumpkin to take home to your front porch at Arbor West or Villas at Dawsonville!
For the nature lovers, head to Amicaola Falls State Park & Lodge to catch the beautiful fall scenery within the Chattahoochee National Forest. The park’s namesake is a 729-foot waterfall and the third-highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Not only can you get a great hike in to see the falls, the Lodge also offers activities such as zip lining, GPS scavenger hunts, 3D archery, or hatchet throwing.
If you’re looking for the ultimate fall-filled day of fun, look no further than Uncle Shuck’s Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch. This 15-acre corn maze and pumpkin patch has enough activities to keep you busy for the whole day. After you find your way out of the corn maze, you can also pick your own pumpkins, bounce on the jumping pillow, explore tire mountain, take a ride on the wagon, roast marshmallows, meet the farm animals – AND the bravest can take a walk through the spooky Haunted Trail. There’s something for everyone!
Just south of Burt’s Pumpkin Farm and Amicalola Falls, you’ll find Fausett Farms Sunflowers. Enjoy frolicking through over 30 acres of sunflowers – there’s even an annual 5k that runs through the flowers! Seeing 900,000 flowers at once is an experience that will leave you feeling inspired by nature’s beauty.
Another outdoor activity you’ll love during the fall weather is Movies in the Park™. Movies are shown on a huge, 2-story-tall, inflatable screen. Grab your favorite snacks, sit back, and enjoy the show!
The local farmers market offers so many opportunities for fall fun. On Saturdays and Sundays, grab your fresh produce and fall goodies. Head out to Food Truck Fridays at the Farmers Market Pavilion and try one of the delicious vendors while enjoying live music and inflatables for kids to play on.
Another Dawsonville staple is the annual Moonshine Festival and Car Show, held in late October. This year, the event is being held at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and Dawsonville City Hall's Main Street Park. It’s sure to be a great event!
The fun doesn’t have to end when the leaves start to change! As Christmas approaches, Dawsonville comes alive with holiday cheer and festive community traditions. Get into the spirit of the season at the annual Dawsonville Christmas Parade, browse local vendors and find unique gifts at the Jingle Market, and gather with the community to celebrate the season at the annual tree lighting. From festive decorations to holiday events, there’s always something to look forward to in Dawsonville, making it a wonderful place to enjoy the magic of the holidays.
