# What's New at The Battery Atlanta
Atlanta is programming family-friendly, free events on the Plaza Green this fall. The calendar centers on a weekly outdoor movie series presented by Xfinity and a one-afternoon Great Fall Festival that combines Truck-or-Treat, vendor booths and seasonal activities.
Movie Series Presented by Xfinity
Schedule (all movies begin at 7 p.m. unless noted):
- Friday, Oct. 2: Super Mario Galaxy
- Friday, Nov. 6: Jurassic Park
- Friday, Nov. 13: Wicked For Good
- Friday, Nov. 20: Shrek Forever After
Festival
After the festival ends, the Plaza Green stays open for a special movie showing of Minions & Monsters at 5:30 p.m. as part of the Movie Series Presented by Xfinity.
Admission, rules and logistics
Admission to both the Movie Series and The Great Fall Festival is free. There are a few practical rules to note:
- Coolers, outside alcoholic beverages and glass containers are not permitted on the Plaza Green.
- Parking is free for the first two hours in the Red, Purple, Green and Yellow decks. Event-day parking rates may apply depending on what else is happening at the complex.
Bring what you need for comfort (blanket or lawn chair) and plan to buy food and drink on site. If you plan to stay beyond two hours, consider parking logistics to avoid unexpected fees.
What to expect at the events
Expect family-friendly programming: community vendors, seasonal goods, hands-on activities for kids, and emergency vehicles for Truck-or-Treat photo opportunities. The movie nights are outdoors under the stars with crowd seating on the lawn.
The Battery's schedule makes it easy to combine an afternoon family outing with an evening movie, especially on Oct. 25 when the festival and Minions & Monsters screening are back-to-back.
Quick planning checklist
- Bring blankets or lawn chairs for movie nights.
- Wear costumes and bring treat bags for Truck-or-Treat on Oct. 25.
If you want a casual, family-focused fall outing in the Atlanta area, The Battery Atlanta's free Plaza Green events provide multiple chances this season to watch movies outdoors and attend a concentrated festival experience with vendors and themed activities.
