Fall Things to Do in Macon, GA

Autumn in Macon, GA, feels like a season made for slowing down and savoring the little moments. The air cools, leaves turn golden, and Downtown Macon buzzes with festivals, food, and live music. If you’re new to the area or thinking about making Macon home with Peachtree Building Group, fall is the perfect time to see what life here has to offer.

🍂 Festivals & Downtown Fun

Fall weekends are packed with events that show off the city’s energy and history. September brings the Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebration at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, a family-friendly event with storytelling, dance, and art. Don’t miss the Macon Beer Fest, when Downtown Macon transforms into a street party of craft brews, live music, and food vendors. And for foodies, Macon Burger Week is a must—local restaurants compete to serve the best, most creative burgers in town.

🎃 Pumpkin Patches & Orchard Days

Nothing says fall like a Saturday at the pumpkin patch. Head to Lane Southern Orchards in Fort Valley for hayrides, a six-acre corn maze, and farm-fresh treats. Or stop by Dickey Farms in Musella, where kids can run through the maze while you stock up on Georgia pecans and homemade ice cream. These day trips are perfect for fall photos, cozy snacks, and making memories close to home.

👻 Spooky Nights

If fall isn’t complete without a little thrill, Macon delivers. Check out Spirits in October, a guided nighttime tour through Riverside Cemetery filled with stories of the city’s past. For something lively, Downtown Macon’s monthly First Friday events offer music, gallery openings, and street energy under twinkling lights.

🚶 Trails & Leaf Watching

When the leaves start to turn, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park is a great spot for a crisp afternoon walk. The trails are stroller-friendly, the views are wide open, and the sunset light over the fields is picture-perfect. For a lakeside picnic, try Lake Tobesofkee, where the water reflects autumn color in every direction.
