We have not one, not two, but three new home communities nestled within walking distance of Downtown Alpharetta, with even more all around the city! We chose these locations because they give you easy access to the best of the city, whether you walk, bike, or drive a short distance to get there. 

Along with a wide selection of shops and restaurants, The City of Alpharetta has a full calendar of fun events - and this October there’s plenty for you to see and do all month long! Local businesses and cultural organizations work with the city to put on one-of-a-kind events all year, and fall is the start of an exciting season for local activities. Music festivals, local art, and rich local culture are just the beginning - and don’t forget about Halloween! Here are some fantastic Alpharetta events coming up in October near neighborhoods from The Providence Group.

Also known as the Alpharetta Songwriters Festival, this free two-day music fest brings together local and nationally-known artists for a celebration of song! Country, rock, blues, Americana, and bluegrass are the genres you’ll hear from 30+ artists across 6 stages, featuring headliners like Ruthie Foster and Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors. The festivities take place from 5-11PM on Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th in Alpharetta City Center just walking distance from our downtown Alpharetta communities - take a look at the Wood and Wire Fest site here for directions.

At the Alpharetta Arts Center Gallery, a fresh look at the mundane and the everyday is sure to bring you a new perspective. The reception for the Arts Center’s next exhibition, Slice of Life, will be an artistic celebration of the extraordinary in the ordinary starting at 6:00 PM on October 23rd. The exhibit itself will be on display for several weeks, and the arts center has a wide variety of events for artists of all ages and in all mediums to attend. Discover the Arts Center’s classes, camps, workshops and more on their website here.

And, for classic Halloween fun and excitement for the kids, the Halloween Boo Bash in Wills Park is the free family event to catch! From 12:00PM - 4:30PM on October 23rd, bring your ghosts and goblins of all ages to enjoy face painting, pumpkin painting, a candy hunt, and even a hayride! 

Or, if you’d like to get into the festive spirit any time in October, Downtown Alpharetta’s 16th annual Scarecrow Harvest is playing host to a record-breaking number of scarecrows all month long! See scarecrows from locals and businesses around Alpharetta, and even vote for your favorite. Find a map of all 6 scarecrow patches here, and enjoy visiting more than 150 scarecrows all over town.
