2022 Spring Fairs & Festivals In Georgia

Updated for 2022

Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to enjoy an active Festival season in Georgia.

Browse our long list of Spring and Summer Fairs and Festivals in Georgia for 2022. Visit a festival near you where you will be treated to not only some of the best arts and crafts but also live entertainment, food vendors, children’s activities, festival foods, artist demonstrations, midway rides, and the gorgeous landscape of the deep south.

You can catch an occasional classic car show among some bigger festivals such as the International Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon during March.

About our list of Top Fairs & Festivals in Georgia

It is my goal to provide a list that includes a good family-friendly event with something for everyone. Mainly arts and crafts festivals with an occasional fair featuring midway rides, these events tend to have stages of live music and sometimes sell beer and wine.

Summer Fairs & Festivals

Once the summer heat begins here in the deep south, we tend to flock towards the water. There will be fewer fairs and festivals until the Fall when there are a few more.
