Ready to put something besides errands on November’s calendar, HoCo? Perry has antique farm equipment and a downtown tree lighting on the way, while Warner Robins’ Museum of Aviation is making room for model trains and Christmas trees. That’s a pretty good excuse to start comparing family calendars.
We’ve picked four announced November outings worth planning around—not every event with a date attached. Details last checked October 26, 2026. All times below are local. Use the linked organizers for final schedules, weather notices and any changes before you leave.
November 11–14: A Little Farm History in Perry
The Georgia National Antique Agriculture Show brings antique equipment, traditional and modern agricultural demonstrations, an equipment parade, children’s tractor games and hands-on educational activities to the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry.
If your family likes seeing how things work, this is a date to circle. The organizer’s lineup spans old machinery and newer farm technology—plenty of room for a “what does that do?” conversation.
Planning note: The official show page confirms November 11–14, 2026, but the checked page doesn’t establish general-admission prices or a complete daily activity timetable. Its concert series has a separate ticket link. Don’t assume every activity or concert is free, or that every demonstration runs all day; confirm those details before choosing your visit.
November 22–29: Trains Meet Planes in Warner Robins
Planes and Trains brings the Middle Georgia Model Railroad Club’s displays to the Museum of Aviation’s Century of Flight Hangar. Admission to the display is free. Think miniature railroads sharing a destination with full-size aviation history—the transportation fans in your house may have opinions about which to see first.
Go Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., or Sunday, 1–5 p.m. The museum is closed Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26. That closure falls inside the advertised run, so don’t let the date range send you to a locked door.
The official Planes and Trains page supplies the display details and any special-appearance updates. Use its detailed daily hours rather than the generic 9–5 calendar header.
Starting November 22: Christmas Trees, Aviation Setting
The Museum of Aviation’s Festival of Trees runs November 22–December 29, with decorated trees in the Eagle Building’s Rotunda and on the second and third floors. Admission is free during normal museum hours.
For a November visit, that’s Monday–Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday, 1–5 p.m., with Thanksgiving Day closed. The two museum events overlap from November 22–29 on open days, so you can plan around both without treating them as the same exhibit.
See the Festival of Trees announcement for display information. If you’re saving the trees for December, check holiday hours rather than carrying November’s schedule forward.
November 28: Shop Perry, Then Watch the Tree Light Up
Small Business Saturday is listed for 10 a.m.–6 p.m. in Historic Downtown Perry, followed by the tree lighting on the City Hall Lawn at 6 p.m. Visit Perry’s event listing gives 800 Carroll Street for the downtown event location.
It’s a chance to make local shops part of the holiday list before gathering for the evening ceremony. Browsing first, lights afterward: a downtown double feature without a movie ticket.
The 2026 Visit Perry announcement confirms the date and separate ceremony time. It doesn’t state an admission charge; this guide isn’t promising free extras, particular store deals or activities carried over from earlier years.
A Few Details That Save a Detour
Museum address: 1942 Heritage Boulevard, Robins AFB, GA 31098. The museum places its entrance along Highway 247, just south of the base’s Russell Gate. General museum admission and parking are free. Its official hours and visitor guidelines also require children to be accompanied by supervising adults.
For an unscheduled afternoon: Our Houston County parks-by-the-plan guide sorts local options by walks, playgrounds, picnics and sports. Creekwood and Center Park splash pads are out of season—not November backup plans.
Save the dates that fit your crew, leave yourself a little breathing room, and check the organizer again before heading out. November already has enough moving parts; at least some of these come with train tracks.
