Tucked in the beautiful Mountains of Hiawassee, the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds is your destination for year-round events and family fun.
From lively concerts to exciting festivals, there’s always something to enjoy.
For those who love the outdoors, our 207 campsites on the scenic shores of Lake Chatuge are the perfect place to park your RV or pitch a tent and stay a while.
Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a family adventure, the Fairgrounds offers something for everyone.
This summer, they’re hosting the 75th Annual Georgia Mountain Fair – a tradition that has brought joy to generations since 1950.
Explore unique arts and crafts, enjoy classic fair food, see live demonstrations, and take a spin on the rides at the midway.
Don’t miss the Miss Georgia Mountain Fair Pageant and a lineup of incredible country music performances in our intimate venue. Information from: www.georgiamountainfair.com.
