The Georgia Mountain Fair hosts some of the most entertaining mountain festivals in Georgia, including the one that bears its name: the Georgia Mountain Fair. Nicknamed the "Showplace of the Mountains," the Georgia Fair shines the spotlight on the town of Hiawassee for 12 days every summer. During the annual Georgia Mountain Fair festival, visitors may enjoy country music shows, clogging, carnival rides, arts and crafts, exhibits, a parade and a beauty pageant. Those curious about the old ways of doing things will appreciate demonstrations of moonshine-making, quilting, blacksmithing, soap-making, and much more. A Pioneer Village at the Georgia Fair offers a look at an old-time mountain town, complete with a one-room schoolhouse, log house, barn, store, smokehouse and corn crib. Every year, approximately 100,000 people attend the Georgia Mountain Fair, held in the mountains of north Georgia, next to Lake Chatuge. The festival began in 1950.
The Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds plays host to several popular annual events besides the Georgia Mountain Fair, the Georgia Mountain Roots & Music Festival, the Superstar Concert Series, the Georgia Mountain Fall Festival and Georgia’s Official State Fiddler’s Convention.
The Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds are located along the shores of beautiful Lake Chatuge in the north Georgia mountain community of Hiawassee and is only two hours from Atlanta, Greenville, Asheville and Chattanooga. The Fairgrounds offer a wide-variety of unique venues, and beautiful year-round camping facilities.
