Atlanta loves to celebrate, and Halloween is a favorite holiday for parties and events. This year is particularly special since the big day falls on a Saturday, meaning kids are out of school and many people have time off work to go out and get a little wild. 

Despite the pandemic, Atlanta has a ton of options for a fun and safe celebration in the weeks leading up to Halloween, the day of and even some continuing after October 31. It’s clear that the city is in the mood for spooky fun, and we’ve narrowed down some great Halloween events in Atlanta for 2020. 

Fun for all ages 

L5P Halloween Photo Walk (now through November 2)

Brought to the neighborhood by the Little 5 Points Alliance, this is a display of the 20 winning photos from their photo contest. Visitors can take a self-guided tour using QR codes displayed on the photos, or you can visit the Little 5 Points Alliance website for a guide here. All attendees are asked to wear a mask for safety. 

Decatur Ghost Tours (October 22-25, 27-31)

Join one of these walking tours to learn more about Decatur’s ghosts and paranormal history. Tours last about 2.5 hours, so wear comfortable shoes. They are guided by a city host, and include a psychic medium and a paranormal investigator.

Madame Macabre on her 14th anniversary of creating the Lawrenceville Ghost Tours with the Aurora Theatre. Wonderful, spooky, dramatic tour for a cool October evening … and it only took 14 years for me to check it out.

A post shared by J. Scott Fugate (@jazzevangelist) on Oct 14, 2018 at 8:32pm PDT

On this 90-minute tour, explore Lawrenceville Square and some of Lawrenceville’s most interesting places to learn the tales behind the town’s spooky history and paranormal activity dating back to turn of the century renovations of this oldest town in the Metro Atlanta area. 

Ghosts of Marietta (now through December 27)

Hear stories based on firsthand accounts and documented sightings of the ghosts of Marietta, with a side of history mixed in. These tours last Fri-Sun all the way through December, so don’t worry if you don’t make it by Halloween.

Halloween is Coming. Is Choosing who, or what, to be an annual delight or agony for you? Join us this weekend to see some “Halloween Costumes” beyond compare at NETHERWORLD!

A post shared by NETHERWORLD (@netherworldhauntedhouse) on Sep 30, 2020 at 8:52am PDT

It’s a true Atlanta Halloween classic, and Netherworld is back again Wed-Sun for socially-distanced scares. It’s a walk-through attraction full of terrifying live actors, incredible special effects and insane monsters. Buy tickets ahead of time, because this attraction tends to sell out daily. 

With all of these Halloween events in Atlanta, it will be hard to pick just one or two to visit this year. Make the most of your Halloween and plan ahead to enjoy some of the frightening fun that the city has in store. It’s sure to be a delightfully devilish holiday with something exciting in store for all.
