Loganville AutumnFest is the city's biggest day of the year: a free festival on a fall Saturday in October on Main Street and the downtown green, with more than 175 vendors filling the block and thousands walking them. The festival has run for more than four decades, and the most recent editions have landed on the third Saturday of October, with the 2026 edition scheduled for October 17.
What runs on the day
- Main Street fills with craft and business booths, roughly a hundred and seventy five strong on past years.
- Live music on the stage and performances from the local dance and theater groups.
- The Battle of the Bands for the younger set through the afternoon.
- Food vendors and food trucks along the block, with the downtown restaurants staying open behind them.
- Free admission, with family activities filling the green from mid-morning to late afternoon.
How to do it
Arrive before the walk gets heavy, park in the lots on the edges rather than the main block, and do the vendors first while the sidewalk is open. The festival runs rain or shine, and the city's events page posts the exact hours each year. For the season beyond Loganville, the countywide fall festivals roundup lays out the whole October calendar.
