There's no spectacle in Atlanta quite like this one, which features hordes of sci-fi and fantasy fans taking over the streets of downtown. People come from all over the country for the convention, which focuses on everything from Star Trek and Star Wars to vampires and zombies. The most dedicated attendees come in elaborate costumes and march in the parade, which boasts everything from Klingons in a Camaro and a battalion of Storm Troopers to shiploads of pirates and more Harry Potters than you can shake a wand at. You'll be talking about the parade and showing people your snapshots for weeks afterward.

Think that drive-in theaters are a thing of the past? Think again -- and then head south on Moreland Avenue to the Starlight Six Drive-In for Labor Day Sunday. Arrive early to claim a good parking space, because you'll need to stake out prime viewing territory (that's right, at the drive-in, you watch movies while you're sitting in or around your car!). Then, hang out and enjoy the bands that play all day, prior to the movies starting once the sun sets. Don't forget to pack a cooler with all your picnic favorites (and a few cans of beer), although you'll probably still want to raid the concession stand while you're there.

This arts and crafts fair is an Atlanta favorite that's received accolades from across the country. In addition to seeing some of the region's best artists and crafters, you'll want to head to the festival because the grounds (known as the special events meadow) at Stone Mountain Park are among the most appealing in the city. The wooded space is ideal for wandering, and the shade from trees keeps even the sunniest days from becoming unbearable. Plus, there's plenty of parking, and a shuttle makes the festival easily accessible.

Fall is the season for inspiration in Atlanta. Get in touch with your creative side at this festival, which brings local artists together to show their works. Whether you prefer oil paintings, quick charcoal sketches, or traditional pottery, you'll find something here that you'll want to take home. Plus, you'll also have a chance to speak with the artists as they man their booths. And if you're thinking ahead, you might even get a little Christmas shopping done too.

Hours: Sat, Sep 14, 2013: 10am - 7pm Sun, Sep 15, 2013: 10am - 6pm
