Why hello there, November. Ask anyone in Dallas, Hiram or Acworth what holiday falls in November and they'll likely say Thanksgiving. But it turns out there are lots of other holidays and events happening this month too! So we've rounded up five other mostly offbeat holidays and events your family can celebrate this month!
1. Celebrate Cookie Monster's birthday
It's the big blue guy's birthday! We dare not ask his age, but we know how to celebrate! With cookies, right? Right. ME WANT COOKIE!
Pick up a dozen from Piece of Heaven in Dallas to celebrate! Nov 2.
2. Eat a sandwich
BLT? PB&J? Grilled cheese? Your choice on National Sandwich Day. My family's favorite spot for sandwiches in Acworth is Miss L's Sandwich Shop. If you haven't, you have to try the Chicken Salad! Yum. Nov. 3

3. Visit The Southern Museum
Visit The Southern Museum to have some STEAM fun! STEM/STEAM Day highlights the importance of introducing and encouraging kids to explore their interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. We admit, we have fun at The Southern Museum too. Nov. 8
Want some at-home STEM fun? Here are three easy projects our kids love:
- STEAM Fun: Make Giant Bubbles In Your Backyard
- Getting Salty: Salt Painting is Colorful At-Home STEAM Fun
- How To Make Puffy Candy Corn Slime
4. Play Monopoly
Don't go straight to Jail. Instead, dust off this old classic (did you know this game has been around since 1883?) and settle in for an epic family game night on National Play Monopoly Day. Or really, any board game will do. When I want to pick up a new game? The best selection of games around? If you don't want to buy new, check out Goodwill and other Thrift Stores! Nov. 19
5. Shop local!
OK, this one might not be offbeat, but it's really important to our locally owned businesses in Dallas, Hiram and Acworth! Small Business Saturday falls every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Take the kids for a day of holiday shopping in and make sure not to miss these Small Business Saturday special events at Dallas, Hiram and Acworth stores. (Own a store and having a special? Email us so we can add it to a list on this page!)
