A host of autumn-themed events are on tap across DeKalb County in the coming weeks — ranging from kinetic celebrations of the arts to traditional Halloween flight-or-fright fare.
The DeKalb Neighbor has compiled a list of upcoming events for readers to check out at their leisure.
AutumnFest
The Avondale Arts Alliance will hold AutumnFest, its annual arts and music festival Saturday and Sunday.
