It’s ‘fest” season and Six Flags Over Georgia and that means Fright Fest, Kids Boo Fest and Oktoberfest. Also, a new event called Heroes Fest will debut Nov. 9, celebrating both comic book icons and real-life community heroes. One can argue that fall is the best time to visit a theme park between the weather and the extra attractions available!

The best of fall is coming to Six Flags Over Georgia as the park prepares for the return of its three signature events: Oktoberfest presented by Cash App, Kids Boo Fest and Fright Fest presented by SNICKERS®. Running select nights and weekends from Sept. 13 through Nov. 2, the events are included with a single admission ticket, but certain things like haunted houses and food are of course extra.

Oktoberfest at Six Flags over Georgia offers a variation of family-friendly activities and live entertainment to delight in while enjoying authentic German cuisine and German brews from the park’s culinary team, including bratwurst and warm pretzels. OktoberFest is held on weekends from Sept. 13 to Nov. 2. 

Kids Boo Fest at Six Flags over Georgia is a kid friendly fall festival that offers the young and the young-at-heart interactive fun and whimsical entertainment, including Farmer Jordan’s Pumpkin Patch, Inflatable Corn Maze and The Costume Contest. Kids Boo Fest is held on weekends from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. from Sept. 13 to Nov. 2.

Six Flags Over Georgia transforms from theme park to scream park during Fright Fest. Five haunted mazes, six scare zones, three live shows, nearly 300 monsters and thrilling night rides make it one of the largest Halloween events in the Southeast. For the 2025 season, the park will introduce seven new experiences, including:

• The Conjuring Universe – Based on New Line Cinema’s iconic horror franchise, enter the Warrens’ occult museum where their most terrifying cases await. Face Annabelle’s malevolent stare, flee from The Nun’s unholy presence and survive the Perron farmhouse’s demonic forces. Each cursed artifact awakens ancient evil. Tonight, you’re not just observing their cases; you’ve become part of them. 
  
• SAW: Legacy of Terror – Welcome to the ultimate trial of survival in SAW: Legacy of Terror. Step into the world of SAW with a diabolical experience honoring the franchise’s legacy of terror by plunging into the depths of Jigsaw’s twisted mind. Traverse iconic scenes inspired by the films and come face to face with some of John Kramer’s most diabolical contraptions before time runs out.

Plus:

• The Rotted Ones – New Scare Zone
• Disciples of the Beast – New Scare Zone
• Festival of Fright – New Scare Zone
• Necropolis – New Scare Zone
• Nightshades – New Live Show

“Fright Fest is the ultimate Halloween experience in Atlanta,” said Kristin Ardizoni, park manager. “We’re taking fear to the next level with new, immersive haunts based on two of the most terrifying franchises in horror history. This year, you won’t just watch the terror, you’ll live it.” 

Fright Fest runs 21 select nights from Sept. 13 through Nov. 2. Admission to Fright Fest includes all rides, live shows, scare zones, street entertainment and. To experience The Conjuring Universe and SAW: Legacy of Terror, guests should purchase a Haunted Attractions Pass, which includes access to three additional haunted mazes: Carnival of Chaos, Nyctophobia and Camp Slasher. Haunted Attractions Passes are available now at sixflags.com/overgeorgia. The park of course also has its permanent “dark ride” attraction with the haunted mansion too!

Heroes Fest will debut Nov. 8, celebrating both comic book icons and real-life community heroes. The event appears similar to the “Heroes & Villains Fest” other parks have fun. This is a new event and seen as a replacement for the cancelled Holiday In The Park Christmas event. It will feature live entertainment, face painting, arts and crafts, photo ops and exclusive character meet-and-greets. There will also be a 5k Hero Run & Walk to Benefit Cobb Police Athletic League on November 22, 2025. It’s sad to see the park close a month earlier and the Christmas lights will be missed, but hopefully Heroes Fest is something cool.

In addition to the above events, the park will celebrate Veterans & Military Appreciation Days at Six Flags Over Georgia on November 9, 10, 16, and 17!  Six Flags will offer FREE park admission for all Veterans and active military service members as a salute to their bravery and dedication and $9.99 tickets for up to 4 additional guests by just showing ID.

Fall is a great time of the year for outdoor entertainment with the cooler weather and the beginning of the holiday season with Halloween and Thanksgiving. Six Flags Over Georgia has some great offerings that mostly won’t cost you anything extra while giving regular visitors new things to experience and explore. Fall is one of the best times to go to a theme park as the weather is nicer, the crowds are often lighter and the earlier sunset also lets you see the park in lights which can be quite stunning. These festivals also change certain elements every year, so if you’ve been before there’s reasons to return and enjoy the “fest” season at Six Flags Over Georgia.
