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.
