Fall settles in early around Douglasville, where the tree line along Sweetwater Creek turns gold and the town square starts filling up with festivals almost every weekend. Heron Mill Apartments sits at 1801 Riverside Parkway, less than one mile from Sweetwater Creek State Park and just a few minutes from downtown Douglasville, which puts residents close to nearly everything the season has to offer. Here is a look at what is happening this September, October, and November, all close enough to make for an easy night or weekend out.<\/span><\/p>\n September closes out the season for the Church St Farmers Market, held every Tuesday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. through September 29 at the Douglasville Town Green next to the GreyStone Amphitheater on Church Street. It is a relaxed, weekly stop for local produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts before the market takes its winter break, and a good excuse to spend an evening downtown before the bigger fall events take over in October.<\/span><\/p>\n October is the busiest month on the Douglasville calendar. The Douglasville Police Department kicks things off with its Fall Festival and Safety Expo on Saturday, October 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Douglasville Municipal Complex on Fairburn Road, close to Heron Mill. The free, family event includes a touch a truck display, a K9 demonstration, a costume contest, and a bounce house, along with dozens of vendors and food booths. The following weekend, country artist Jo Dee Messina takes the stage at GreyStone Amphitheater on Saturday, October 10, at 7:00 p.m. for an evening concert on the Town Green. The month wraps up with Trunk or Treat on Main Street on Friday, October 30, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Old Police Precinct on Church Street, where downtown businesses hand out candy alongside a bounce house, a mobile arcade, and a coffee truck for the first two hundred guests.<\/span><\/p>\n As the calendar turns to November, Douglas County typically holds its annual Veterans Day Parade in downtown Douglasville to honor local veterans, a tradition worth checking the Douglas County Travel and Tourism calendar for as the exact date is confirmed each year. November is also one of the best months to spend time right outside the door at Sweetwater Creek State Park, where cooler air and turning leaves make the fifteen miles of trails especially worth the short walk from home, including the wooded path along the creek to the historic New Manchester Manufacturing Company mill ruins.<\/span><\/p>\n With the creek, the trails, and downtown Douglasville all within easy reach, fall is one of the best times of year to call Heron Mill home. Residents keep their gear ready with enclosed kayak storage right on site, made for weekend trips to the reservoir at Sweetwater Creek, and unwind afterward at the resort style pool, the fitness center, or the Hammock Grove.
