Sandy Springs keeps a steady community calendar, and the stretch from Monday, November 2 through Tuesday, November 10, 2026 leans toward hands on evenings and nature talks. The four picks below include a social crafting night at City Hall, a Thursday evening market, a Saturday morning painting class at Lost Corner Preserve and a free Tuesday talk about deer. Every listing comes from the City of Sandy Springs events calendar and its individual event pages, and prices or details that the city has not spelled out are flagged so you can confirm them before you head out.
Sandy Springs Crafting Buddies at City Hall
When
Crafting Buddies meets on the first Wednesday of every month from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., which puts the November session on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. The city's event page describes the group as social crafting, so people arrive and leave on their own schedule within the two hour window.
Where
Each session is at Sandy Springs City Hall, 1 Galambos Way, Sandy Springs, GA 30328, in the Barfield Meeting Room on the second floor. City Hall is part of the City Springs district, where the city also hosts its performing arts and green space programs.
Cost and registration
The city lists the cost as $0.00, so the evening is free. Registration is recommended, though the page says walk ups are welcome. A registration link appears on the city event page if you prefer to confirm a spot ahead of time.
Good to know
The Recreation and Parks department describes the community as inclusive for people of all ages, abilities and skill sets. Bring a work in progress or the materials to start a new project. The event page also points to a Facebook group called Sandy Springs Crafting Buddies where members connect between meetings, which is handy for finding out what others plan to work on.
Sandy Springs Night Market at River Springs Shopping Center
When
The Night Market is held on the first Thursday of September, October and November, and the November date is Thursday, November 5, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The late hours make it an after work stop for picking up dinner or a gift, and the 5 p.m. opening means you can arrive straight from the office.
Where
The market sets up at River Springs Shopping Center, 8610 Roswell Road. The city lists it as part of the Sandy Springs Farmers Market series, but it takes place on a weeknight and at a different location from the Saturday market at City Springs, which is why it earns its own entry here.
Cost
The city page does not list an entry fee. Spending depends on what you buy from the more than 30 local farmers, food producers, artisans and specialty vendors, who offer fresh products, handcrafted goods and prepared foods. Check the vendor map linked from the event page to see who is attending.
Good to know
Guests can pick up a freshly prepared dinner, browse seasonal produce or find a last minute hostess gift. This is the final Night Market of the 2026 season based on the city's schedule, which names September, October and November. The page links a vendor list and a vendor map, so you can plan your route through the booths before you arrive.
Paint Like Bob Ross at Lost Corner Preserve
When
The city's calendar listing shows the class on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with a 10 a.m. start. The class description promises a complete Bob Ross landscape in a single session, and the instructor walks students through the painting step by step, so no experience is required.
Where
Classes are held at Lost Corner Preserve, 7300 Brandon Mill Road, Sandy Springs, GA 30328. The listing says the class is indoors or under a covered pavilion, so it continues rain or shine, and severe weather would lead to a reschedule rather than a cancellation.
Cost and registration
The class costs $75, and registration is required through the city. Cancellations seven or more days ahead are refunded minus a $10 administrative fee, and the class needs at least four students to run. The event page text carries leftover wording about an August date, so confirm the November 7 session when you register.
Good to know
The instructor is Jeremy Rogers, a Bob Ross Certified Instructor, and only Bob Ross supplies are used for an authentic experience. Bring a roll of paper towels, a small package of baby wipes and a cardboard box large enough to carry home a 12 by 16 inch canvas. The tone is light hearted, and the class is built around enjoying the process more than producing a perfect result. The cardboard box on the supply list is there to carry your finished canvas home.
Friends of Lost Corner: Oh Deer and Co-Existing with Our Forest Friends
When
This talk takes place on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 7 p.m. It is part of a speaker series by the Friends of Lost Corner, which hosts presentations on nature topics through the year. The city lists the talk as a community event.
Where
The talk is held at Lost Corner Preserve, 7300 Brandon Mill Road, the same property that hosts the painting class. The Friends group also runs a monthly nature book club in the cottage on the preserve, which gives regular visitors another reason to return. The group's nature book club meets on November 12, just after this week ends.
Cost
Admission is free. The event page lists the cost as free and links to a Learn More page for details. As with many community lectures, planning to arrive a few minutes early helps you find a seat and a place to park.
Good to know
Naturalist Rose Guerra leads the evening and covers Georgia's state mammal, the white tailed deer. Topics include keeping deer from damaging expensive landscaping, what a deer sighting means for a suburban yard, and what to do on finding a seemingly abandoned fawn. Anyone with a yard that borders green space will find it practical, and the evening suits curious neighbors who simply like wildlife.
