The Avenue West Cobb, an outdoor lifestyle shopping center, is celebrating the year’s spookiest season with their annual Fall Festival held on Thursday, October 31 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.

“The season filled with cozy sweaters and frightful delights is finally upon us! The Avenue West Cobb is kicking off another wonderful holiday season with our beloved fall festival featuring activities for everyone in the family,” said John Liu, general manager at The Avenue West Cobb. “Whether you’re bringing the kids to collect their sweet treats or dressing up your furry friends for our first-ever pet costume contest, you’re certain to have an incredible time.”

Free and open to the public, the Fall Festival is the perfect way to enjoy Halloween in a fun, family-friendly environment. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in store-to-store trick-or-treating and pick up delicious candy treats from their favorite tenants around The Avenue. Additional activities include pumpkin picking, a creepy crawlers exhibit, a kid’s maze, a balloonist, magician and face painter, as well as strolling entertainers and movie characters. Fall Festival attendees can also capture photos at a special photo backdrop near Barnes & Noble.

In addition to these activities, Marietta community members can dress up their furry friends and bring them along for the fun to enter them into the center’s first-ever pet costume contest. Categories include best costume, funniest costume, scariest costume and best group costume. Winners will receive a ribbon, free dog toy and bragging rights.
