Lonesome River Band kicks off Bear on the Square this Friday, April 17 🎻🐻

Friday night is ticketed, which keeps events on Saturday and Sunday free.

The full weekend: live bluegrass and old-time music on the MainStage, professional Appalachian storytellers, and 70+ juried artists
and craftspeople surrounding the historic square — pottery, textiles, woodworking, and more.

🐕 Dogs welcome at the festival — just not inside the MainStage Tent (too loud and crowded for most pups). Leash required, cleanup
expected.

Make it a full mountain weekend at Toccoa Currents — dog-friendly cabins with direct access to the Toccoa River, 23–25 miles from
Dahlonega. Trek the trails 👣, toss a line or tube the Toccoa 🎣🚣, then come back and crack open a local cider around the firepit
🍏🔥

🐕 Dogs welcome. Toccoa River access. Mountains out the window.
