Autumn Events Near Atlantic Builders Communities

Atlantic Builders has a simple philosophy: Build the best homes possible and create extraordinary relationships.

We do that through our passion, dependability, and dedication to excellence.

We also accomplish our mission by building new homes in some of the best communities in Prince William County, Stafford County, Spotsylvania County, and more.

Communities that are selected not just for their jaw-dropping surrounding beauty or outstanding amenities, but also for their prime location.

And as fall is here and Halloween approaches, lets look at some of the amazing autumn events near just a few of our Atlantic Builders communities to whet your festive appetite.

Prince William County

One of our fabulous Prince William communities is Fleetwood at Slate Run. Here, you can own your own peaceful 10-acre sanctuary offering innovative and spacious one- and two-level homes. And while you’re here, you can enjoy such fall activities as:

Haunted Wine Tours

From Monday, October 3 through Sunday, November 6, experience the chills and thrills of the Haunted Wine Tour at The Winery at Bull Run. Join your guide on this outdoor walking tour of the historic and hallowed grounds of The Winery at Bull Run—by lantern light! You’ll shiver with stories from the past and be given liquid courage with wine tastings throughout the tour. You’ll also get to take home a Winery at Bull Run logo glass and enjoy exclusive access to the winery after hours and special deals. This event is for ages 21 and up.

Ghost Tour and Spooky Party

ARTFactory premieres its first annual Haunted Mini Golf at Locust Shade Park on October 29–30, from 10am–5:30pm. All the curves and the angles and the loop de loops you’d expect from a mini golf course, filled with 100% more family friendly Halloween fun.

Stafford County

Stafford County is the boyhood home of George Washington, and it’s easy to see why his parents chose to live here. And, it’s easy to see why our Liberty Hall Estates homes are so in demand. At Liberty Hall, you will experience modern living with a luxurious flair on your very own 1.5-acre wooded homesite. And you’ll be close by these fun fall events:

Trick-or-Treat Trail

On October 22, from 4–6:30pm, Widewater State Park hosts its Trick-or-Treat Trail. Dress up in your favorite costume, get a map at the Visitor Center, and then search—if you dare!—Long Pond Trail to find the rangers who are ready to teach your family about the slimy and creepy creatures who live in the park. Spend some extra time in the Visitor Center and learn how Native Americans used their fall harvest, all while completing fun, fall crafts.

Run for Your Life

Be a part of this Stafford Country tradition: the Halloween 5K and Monster Mile. On October 29, adults and older kids can challenge themselves in a 5K up Halloween Hill, and kids 12 and under can tackle the Monster Mile. Wear your best running shoes and dress in costume, as prizes will be awarded! Plus, all participants will receive a finisher's medal!

Enjoy Tribal Crafts

This is the thirteenth year of the annual Patawomeck Tribal Craft Show on November 12, from 9:00am–3:00pm. Held indoors at the Fraternal Order of Eagles 4123, come explore the skill and wares of local artisans showcasing the best of their handicrafts. Enjoy fun activities and delicious food. The 13th Annual Patawomeck Tribal Craft Show is the perfect place to do some early holiday shopping!

Spotsylvania County

The community of Orchard Hill at Fawn Lake is a gorgeous, upscale place to call home in Spotsylvania County. Enjoy an elegant one- or two-story home and enjoy all Orchard Hill’s resort-style amenities, including a beach, outdoor pool, marina, lake access, walking trails, sports park, tennis courts, clubhouse, and fitness room. Plus, you’ll live close to these amazing fall events:

Halloween in the Air

Come to the Shannon Airport on October 29, from 10:00am–4:00pm for their Harvest Festival Fly-In. Visit the Shannon Air Museum, the Fly Shannon DC-3, and the display aircraft while enjoying the many food trucks, vendors, and activities for kids. And speaking of activities for kids, for those 12 and under, there are two scheduled candy drops!

Fun for Four-Legged Family Members

Get ready for THE event for your furry family friends: The Fredericksburg Pet Palooza! From October 29–30, at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center, get ready to see the latest and best pet products, treats, toys, and more. If you have a pet, they’re invited to (on leash, of course). And if you don’t, the Pet Palooza is a great place to find one to adopt!

Art and Wine in the Park

The Caledon State Park Art and Wine Festival is waiting to delight your palate with tastes from local wineries and restaurants, all while enjoying art and music from local artists. The festival runs November 5 (10:00am–5:00pm) and November 6 (10:00am–4:00pm) in gorgeous Caledon State Park. (Sure, this one is next-door to Spotsylvania County, but we think it’s special enough to include.) Tickets are required, but non-tasters and children are free! This is also a pet-friendly event, so the whole family can enjoy a fall day out.

Atlantic Builders Homes Mean Year-Long Excitement
