Bartow County November Calendar: Holiday Market, Bingo Nights, Gun Shows & More

Autumn is winding down, but the local calendar in Bartow County is just heating up. If you’re anything like me, you love that mix of holiday sparkle, a little friendly competition, and a chance to learn something new – and this month delivers all three, plus a bunch of other surprises.

First up, the kids (and the inner‑child in all of us) will have a chance to get messy with paint. On Friday, November 6, the Beavers Drive Senior Center hosts a kids’ painting class from 6‑8 p.m. – perfect for ages 6‑9. They’re doing it again on the 13th for the older crowd, ages 10 and up.

If you’re hunting for a holiday‑ready vibe, swing by the Christmas Village at the Clarence Brown Conference Center on the weekend of November 6‑7. Open 9 a.m.‑4 p.m., it’s a one‑stop shop for festive décor, local treats, and that warm, fuzzy feeling we all crave.

Want to brush up on life‑saving skills? The Bartow Recreation Center runs a CPR/First Aid/AED course on Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m.‑1:30 p.m. It’s a solid way to feel more prepared, and you’ll walk away with a certificate to prove it.

For those who love the great outdoors, the Thanksgiving‑at‑the‑Top event at Red Top Mountain on November 7 offers stunning views and a relaxed picnic vibe – just bring a dish to share.

Mark your calendars for some community milestones: Webb Park in Emerson gets its grand opening on Monday, November 9, and the Senior Luncheon returns on Tuesdays, November 10 and 17, at the Beavers Senior Center.

Culture lovers, take note: veterans enjoy free admission to the Tellus Science Museum on November 10, and families can explore the Booth Western Art Museum for free on November 12 from 4‑8 p.m.

Crafty hands will feel right at home at the Knit & Crochet Group at the Cartersville Library on November 12, 6‑7:30 p.m., followed by an Arts & Crafts Fair at Georgia Highlands College on the 14th.

Speaking of the 14th, two big events happen that day. First, the Holiday Market sets up shop at Lakepoint Sports (10 a.m.‑5 p.m.) and continues Saturday (10 a.m.‑4 p.m.). It’s the perfect spot to snag unique gifts while supporting local vendors. Right after, the RK Gun Show rolls out at the Clarence Brown Conference Center on November 21‑22 – a must‑visit for collectors and curious onlookers alike.

Bingo nights are making a comeback, too. Grab a friend and head to Manning Mill Park in Adairsville on November 14 (5‑7 p.m.) for a classic evening of daubers and doughnuts. There’s another round on November 21 at the South Bartow Youth Recreational Facility gym in Acworth, this time from 7‑9 p.m.

For the green‑thumbed, the UGA Extension hosts a wreath‑making workshop on November 21 at two different times – 10 a.m.‑noon and 1‑3 p.m. – perfect for getting ahead on holiday décor.

Movie buffs can catch a “Schools Out” screening: “Super Mario Bros.” at the Adairsville Public Library on November 23, followed by “Paddington 2” at the Emmie Nelson Library in Euharlee on November 24.

Finally, don’t miss the Euharlee Christmas Parade on November 30, a community‑wide celebration that brings the whole county together for a festive stroll down Euharlee Road.

All in all, November in Bartow County offers a little something for everyone – whether you’re looking to shop, learn, or simply enjoy the season with friends and family. Check the specific venues for any registration requirements, and enjoy the festivities!
