Wildflowers and original works of art, food booths, old-fashioned fun and games. . .and don’t forget the moonshine! Dawson County knows how to celebrate the seasons, its history and heritage. Festivals fete springtime in the mountains; honor our veterans and active military; mark the county’s history during Prohibition when running moonshine through the foothills of the Northeast Georgia Mountains was a way of life—and one that gave birth to NASCAR racing; and celebrate the Christmas season with the lighting of the tree and seasonal fun.
