The nip in the air announces the return of fall. And with that comes the return of AUTUMN ON THE AVENUE. Our fall 2024 event will be held Thursday, October 24, 3:30-6pm.

The Go Mt. Airy Business Association invites families to bring kids in costume for a pre-Halloween trick-or-treat with fun activities on the 6600 through 6900 blocks of Germantown Avenue and adult beverages available at the Tired Hands Beer Garden.

In addition to trick-or-treat at local businesses between Grocery Outlet and Mt. Airy Playground, we’ll have hands-on kids’ crafts from ARTrageous Brush & Flow (pop-up in Trolley Car Park), Bella Mosaic, and Tired Hands Mt. Airy Beer Garden, fire trucks on display by the Philadelphia Fire Department, and the Philly Rhythm kids’ drum line performing live on the Ave. Spooky story times with children’s author Thembi Palmer of @im.storyadventures will take place at 4:30pm and 5pm in St. Michael’s Lutheran Church graveyard at the corner of Germantown Ave and E. Phil Ellena St.

Autumn on the Avenue is a great start to the fall season (and Halloween in particular) and a nice way to get to know some of the businesses on the blocks.

PLEASE NOTE: Normal traffic will be traveling the Avenue, so please use caution when crossing the street.
