Crisp mornings, seasonal sips, festive events and a little spooky fun can only mean one thing: fall has arrived in Coweta County!
Whether you’re here for the pumpkin spice or Halloween thrills, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the season for all ages.
Start your fall day with something cozy from one of Coweta County’s local coffee shops.
Stop by Lisa’s Crêperie & Café for a Praline Crunch Latte, sip on a Peach Cobbler Chai from Honey in the Rock, or head to Senoia Coffee & Café for a Tiramisu Cold Brew before exploring.
Hot or iced, sweet or spiced, there’s a fall sip with your name on it!
As the day winds down, trade your coffee cup for a pint or cocktail and toast to the season. Head to The Reserve (a Line Creek Brewing Co) where you can settle in with a locally brewed pint and enjoy and easygoing fall afternoon.
For something with a little more mystery, make your way to The Pharmacy Speakeasy. A hidden local gem inspired by Prohibition, setting the scene for a cozy evening out. Reserve a table, settle in and enjoy a spirited sip with a seasonal twist.
Save room for something sweet! Grab a scoop of Pumpkin Spice ice cream from Rock Salt Milk Bar, stop by C Street Bakery for a Maple Oatmeal Cookie, or pick up some White Chocolate Pecan Bark from Georgia Chocolate Factory.
Whether you’re craving something warm and freshly baked or a treat to take home, there’s no need to wait until Halloween night to indulge your sweet tooth.
Cooler weather brings a full calendar of festivals and celebrations to Coweta County.
The fun kicks off on October 2nd with Oktoberfest, a beer-tasting event and fall festival celebration hosted in Downtown Newnan.
As Halloween creeps closer, the festivities kick up a notch with a special Halloween-themed edition of Alive After Five on October 16th. The night includes arts, crafts, kids’ activities, music, food, drinks and artisan vendors in Senoia. For this edition, there will be special fall cocktails, candy apples and a dog costume contest.
On October 24th folks can come back to downtown Newnan for the Spirits & Spice Festival from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. The fun abounds with a chili cook-off, food and drink specials, a craft market and more children’s activities.
Fall is the perfect time to explore Coweta County’s connection to AMC’s The Walking Dead. Much of the series was filmed in Senoia and surrounding communities, with recognizable locations still found throughout the area. As you explore, keep an eye out for familiar streets, storefronts and landmarks that helped bring the show’s post-apocalyptic world to life.
Explore on your own or book a guided experience with Georgia Tours LLC or Water Tower Tours for behind-the-scenes stories and a closer look at filming locations. Guided tours offer a fun way to learn more about the cast, characters and memorable scenes filmed throughout the area, while self-guided visitors can take their time discovering Senoia’s filming history.
While in Senoia, stop by The Woodbury Shoppe for licensed merchandise, collectibles and souvenirs. Whether you’re a longtime fan or simply curious about the show’s connection to Coweta County, it’s an entertaining way to experience one of the area’s most recognizable claims to fame.
