Halloween is known for crazy costumes, booze and boos. There’s no denying Atlanta has a multitude of events, parties and festivals to attend to get in the spirit for the day of the dead. For those not in the mood for tricks and treats, there are a few great sports games that weekend including the longtime rivalry of Georgia vs. Florida. Dubbed the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party,” this year’s matchup should not disappoint!
Also on Halloween weekend, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets battle the Virginia Cavaliers at Bobby Dodd Stadium, and the Atlanta Hawks play the Pacers at Phillips Arena.

Atlanta traffic is always congested on Halloween. Which is why I suggest taking MARTA. Also, UBER is another great option for Halloween goers. Take $30 off your first ride with promo code FIRSTRIDE30.
