Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek & Roswell Events: Nov 20 – Nov 30 If it feels like Alpharetta flipped the “holiday lights” switch overnight… you’re not wrong. One minute we were debating sweater weather, the next minute half the city is skating at Avalon, roasting marshmallows downtown, or quietly panicking about being the designated host this year. Are you hosting this year or being hosted? I'm hosting!!!!! 🦃My bestie and her family are coming to town....yay! One kid finishes classes this...

Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek & Roswell Events: Nov 13 – Nov 19 We’ve officially hit the “is it too early for Christmas music?” season — and the answer, of course, is no.

Here’s your full lineup of things worth showing up for — from tree lightings and ice skating rinks to concerts, markets, and the occasional excuse to eat dessert before noon. 🎶...

Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek & Roswell Events: Nov 06 – Nov 12 Whoa, last month was a doozy of activity, am I right?! I'm looking forward to kind of chillin' this weekend. Getting organized, clearing stuff out, loosing five pounds before I gain 10lbs. It’s that sweet spot between spooky season and full-blown holiday chaos — where the air smells like woodsmoke, the lights start twinkling, and every weekend suddenly feels like a Lifetime Movie. From dueling pianos and Irish fiddles to silent...

Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek & Roswell Events: Oct 30 – Nov 05 Some weekends feel like a fever dream—this one just happens to come with better lighting and dessert samples. Between 80s anthems at Roaring Social, a llama-led pub crawl, and comedy that literally goes to hell and back, Alpharetta’s leaning hard into chaos with charm. Balance it out with a craft market sugar rush or a slow sway at Latin Nights, and you’ve got the city’s signature mix: a little wild, a little sweet, and totally...

Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek & Roswell Events: Oct 23 – Oct 31 The pumpkins are plotting, the scarecrows are smiling, and Alpharetta’s got that can-you-feel-it buzz in the air. By nightfall the town hums with live music, porch lights, and a low-key sense that something fun is about to happen. Before the big weekend of costumes, candy chaos, and haunted happenings, we’re easing into the mood—Latin beats at Eclipse de Luna, trunk-or-treats in church parking lots, and the occasional...
