2024 Spring Fairs & Festivals In Georgia

Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to enjoy an active Festival season in Georgia. Spring Festivals have lots of fun, food, arts and crafts, music and entertainment.

There are plenty of Spring Festivals all over Georgia to choose from. Vendors are local artisans from all over Georgia and the southeast with a plethora of handmade items to sell. The food trucks are always good with a nice variety. Support your local festival.

Browse our long list of Spring and Summer Fairs and Festivals in Georgia. 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 also 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.
