Pumpkin, cinnamon and all the cozy flavors are back. Consider this your sign to stop by a local DeKalb coffee shop and order something seasonal.

The Outdoors Start Calling

Cooler mornings make September perfect for a walk at Arabia Mountain, an afternoon in the park or simply spending a little more time outside.

Patio Nights & Live Music

September evenings were made for dinner on the patio, outdoor concerts and nights like Jazz on the Lawn at Callanwolde.

The arrival of Stone Mountain Park’s Pumpkin Festival makes it official: fall fun has arrived in DeKalb.
