Fall is one of my favorite seasons because there are so many fun things to do. Between fairs, pumpkin picking and bonfires, fall weekends are always filled with adventure. This year, there are several events happening in Macon, and you don’t want to miss out on them.
Hamlin Hills Haunted Maze
If you enjoy scary things, the Hamlin Hills Haunted Corn Maze is a great Halloween event. After dark on Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 30 through Oct. 31, the regular corn maze will be filled with spooky characters. You don’t know what you will find behind every turn.

Mulberry Market
For fresh fall produce visit the Mulberry Market in Tattnall Square Park every Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The market will have vendors set up who will be selling produce, fresh flowers, coffee and many other goods. Even if you only have a little bit of time to visit, you can walk over to the park and check out what everyone is selling. For more information, you can visit their Facebook page.
