Atlanta on the Cheap’s 2026 family Halloween roundup lists a free Virginia-Highland Candy Crawl for Wednesday October 28, 4 to 7 p.m., along the North Highland Avenue business district. It is a walkable, neighborhood-scale alternative to a big ticketed attraction.
A local business crawl can be more pleasant if you arrive near the beginning, park once and walk a manageable route. The roundup is a useful planning index, but individual businesses may set their own hours and supplies may run out.
What to do: compare the Virginia-Highland crawl with Tuesday’s Colony Square event and choose the one that fits the family schedule. Check for organizer updates before heading out.
