FALL FOR IT ALL IN CONYERS, GA
No matter the season, you’ll find plenty to do year-round in Conyers!
The crunch of colorful, crispy leaves underfoot and clinging to the trees as the season changes signify the coming of fall in Conyers. Often the most beautiful time of the year with cool mornings and warm afternoons (the best of both worlds!), you won’t want to miss all the autumnal delights of the “October” months in Conyers.

A.M. Recommendations – Eat like and with the locals at Mammy’s Kitchen. Made-from-scratch biscuits with gravy, country ham, red link sausages and more await you at this longtime favorite. See the leaves change along winding paths, rock outcroppings and trails at picturesque Costley Mill Park or take in one of the many fall events including trunk-or-treats, a 5K or the Olde Town Fall Festival, Conyers’ longest-running local festival, held the third Saturday in October.
Salute those who have given all in service to our country at the Walk of Heroes War Memorial overlooking Randy Poynter Lake at Black Shoals Park. The memorial highlights peacetime endeavors and war conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries.
P.M. Recommendations – A snack from Poppin’ Stop gourmet popcorn will bring a smile to your face and won’t spoil dinner at another Conyers favorite. Check out mainstay Café Milano for Italian specialties or Pippin’s BBQ for your barbecue fix with all the quintessential southern sides including buttermilk pie for dessert.
What’s fall and spooky season without a ghost tour? Book a tour with Haunted Olde Town Ghost Tours and Historic Tours to learn about some of the more spirited former residents of Conyers.
