The only thing we love more than Halloween events are FREE Halloween events in Atlanta! After all the money we parents spend on Halloween costumes, candy, and Halloween parties, we could use some free Halloween events in Atlanta like a good pumpkin festival, a Halloween neighborhood party, or an Atlanta park filled with inflatables. We've rounded up the best Atlanta Halloween events that are free to attend.

Many of these free Halloween events are hosted by cities like Roswell, Duluth, and Sandy Springs. Parents can pick Halloween activities close to home or venture to a nearby suburb. In fact, there are so many Atlanta events the last two weekends of October, families may choose to freebie hop!
