Mother’s Day is a well-deserved holiday honoring mothers – young and old. It’s celebrated differently around the world but the American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 but didn’t become an official holiday in the U.S. until 1914. Unfortunately, after the commercialization of the event, Jarvis, later tried to remove it from the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother’s Day most commonly falls on the second Sunday in May and traditionally involves presenting mothers with flowers, cards, gifts and time together.  This Mother’s Day, we invite you to spend Mother’s Day in the North Georgia Mountains.  She will be surrounded by beautiful scenic wonders of mountains, rivers and lakes and lots of shopping as well as incredible food.  What more could she ask for?  She would love to spend the weekend in a mountain view cabin in one of the communities and relax and unwind.  Check out some of the below things to do here in North Georgia Mountains!  Just 2 hours North of Atlanta!

About the Wine and Jazz Festival

This festival is a true celebration of the culture our mountains hold.  It’s a celebration of musical, visual and culinary arts, providing a level of sophistication to the area with a focus on expanding the industry of viticulture in the Blue Ridge area. Also, this incredible event is giving a portion of funds back to two food banks in Gilmer & Fannin counties.   Where is the Festival held?  DOWNTOWN BLUE RIDGE Connect with the festival on FB HERE. 

We are bringing many new changes to this years event!  We are moving the festival to a park in downtown Blue Ridge this year and encourage everyone to bring lawn chairs or blanket for a fantastic afternoon and evening!   With a group of swing dancers attending this year’s festival, a variety of Jazz styles, a diverse list of wines from local wineries, delicious food, and many arts and crafts on display, it promises to be a very special event.

The Blue Ridge Mountains Wine and Jazz Festival is a regional attraction and through its public, corporate, private and charitable partnerships presents an annual concert of jazz music aimed at keeping this uniquely American music form vibrant.

Through the joint efforts of our partners the festival will not only be a celebration of the musical, enological (science of wine and wine making), visual and culinary arts , but also will help raise money for student programs in jazz music and education.

We hope to bring public awareness of the Blue Ridge area as a performing arts centered community and provide entertainment for the growing permanent and seasonal population, while featuring hot jazz, great wines, fine art, delicious cuisine, and many outdoor activities all in one great place.

Follow a water trail on rivers, lakes and along mountain streams. The perfect way to get out into Mother Nature in Georgia’s Blue Ridge this summer.

Blue Ridge Water Trails – June 2018
Paddling kayaks or going tubing, renting a pontoon boat, the thrill of  whitewater rafting or going on a waterfall hike are all refreshing ways to get out on the water in Blue Ridge. If you don’t have equipment don’t worry… we have dozens of professional guides and outfitters ready to fulfill your equipment and guidance needs, all available with easy online information and booking.

Georgia’s Blue Ridge delivers spectacularly, Mother Nature is everywhere… that’s what makes Blue Ridge unique as a vacation destination, especially the many different types of mountain waters. The beautiful Toccoa River, Lake Blue Ridge, thrilling whitewater on the Ocoee River, hiking trails to waterfalls, trout streams in the Trout Capital of Georgia… water trails are everywhere here.

The Toccoa River begins as a clear mountain trout stream, and makes a great kayaking and canoe trail, or a gentle tubing river. Flowing  northwards to form Lake Blue Ridge, all kinds of boating, paddling and swimming activities await. From the dam at Lake Blue Ridge flowing again northward, the Toccoa River is a wider, dam controlled water trail all the way to McCaysville, Georgia, with Horseshoe Bend Park along the way. It’s great for tubing, kayaking and fishing adventures. Once the Toccoa River crosses the Tennessee state line it becomes the Ocoee River, and at the Ocoee Whitewater Center, hosts dozens of thrilling whitewater rafting and paddling adventures… and outfitters for your every need.

It’s no secret that we think the best place to live, work & play are the Georgia Mountains.  We are quite fond of our mountains and we love to share with others what we think they will love!  One of our favorites that kicks-off the same time of year, just before school starts in late July…is none other than the Georgia Mountain Fair, held in Hiawassee at the Fairgrounds.   Our community refers to it as “the fair”.  This “fair” is so much more than just a “fair”.  With this being the 68th year they’ve been doing it, they really have gained a vast knowledge of how to make it fun, entertaining & educational all rolled up into one event. Our Georgia Mountain Fair
is held July 20-28, 2018 at the Historic Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds.  Thousands of visitors from across the region travel to experience the excitement and nostalgia that they offer. With first class musical performances, arts & crafts, fun carnival rides, unique attractions and a glimpse into North Georgia’s rich history and culture, the Fair provides something for every member of the family. So make plans to stay the entire weekend and really explore the fairgrounds & spend a day on our beautiful Lake Chatuge. 

See some of our favorite fair events below & for a Full Schedule click HERE.

Flower Show Opens at 2 pm July 20th!

Monday-Friday: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Sunday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Many crafts are made at the fair as you watch.

“Old Ways” Demonstrations

“Old Ways” Demonstrations will take you back to the “old ways” as local folks show how “moonshine” was made…corn milling…shake making… cider squeezing…pork skin frying…quilting…black smithing…soap & hominy making and more.

Pioneer Village

Pioneer Village is a replica of just how the ole mountain towns used to be. A mercantile store with products and goods that only your grandmother might recognize. An old, one room schoolhouse, a log home with furnishings just like it was in the 1800’s, a smoke house, barn and corn crib are just like it was then. It takes you back.

Wow!  Looking to relax and unwind in the Georgia Mountains? Summer is approaching it’s end but there’s still time to visit the high country and if you’ve never been to the city of Hiawassee, you should visit and enjoy the mountain life we’re always talking about. Make plans today and explore this beautiful city of Hiawassee, GA.

Recently, 365Atlanta.com wrote an article about our beloved town of Hiawassee, GA proclaiming what we’ve been saying for years. They even laid out 52 things to do there.  If you’re coming for a weekend visit, there is plenty to do for sure!

Want to stay on the pristine Lake Chatuge? You should choose The Ridges Resort and Marina, which is right on Chatuge Lake along US 76 in Hiawassee, Ga. Fieldstone Inn and they have hotel rooms as well as suites and villas. It’s a very comfy place and a lot of it has been renovated recently.  Their restaurant overlooking Chatuge Lake had a makeover and it’s simply amazing.  I always had the sense that it was someplace quite special.

Want to stay in a lodge like resort with gorgeous views?  Brasstown Valley Resort is the place you want to stay.  It’s lodge-like atmosphere coupled with refined luxury is great. It’s nestled high on a hill in the Georgia Mountains & is only a short hours from Atlanta & Chattanooga. The accommodations are exception and  include dining, championship golf, stables, a 7,500-square-foot spa, and a wide range of activities for the whole family.

Want to stay in near the fairgrounds? The Lake Chatuge Lodge is another great choice in Hiawassee, Ga. This mountain resort is within walking distance to the North Georgia Fair Grounds. Although we did not stay here, or visit, we did see the sign and have heard good things.

So this is just a little help to get you moving in the right direction & we encourage you to read the full article HERE so you can truly plan out your agenda and make the time with your family memoriable.

With Fall only a couple of months away, we would like to suggest a really neat outing for you and your family.  If you love beautiful mountain views, you will love a visit to Brasstown Bald which is the highest point in Georgia – 4,784′.  This mountain adventure features incredible heights where you can see unbelievable mountain ranges. It’s a great time in the early Spring to take a nice hike up to the summit (the top) and see these scenic mountains without the Summer heat overpowering you.  Or if you don’t hike…no problem!  From the parking lot, you can take the shuttle up to the visitors center which has an extensive museum and various forestry presentations where you can learn a lot about this area.  The best part is the observatory deck with telescopes to get a close-up view of those gorgeous mountain vistas of Rabun Bald (Georgia’s second highest mountain, slightly north of due east), Blood Mountain (south of due west), and the Cohutta Mountains, (due west of the center).

The center is also home to a small locomotive that was used to haul wood off the mountains to nearby saw mills. One of the most interesting displays takes visitors inside the mountain itself to explore the geology of Georgia’s tallest peak.

The Brasstown Bald Summit Trail is also another option for walking up to the Visitor Center and Viewing Platform, is a 0.6 mile paved foot trail from the parking lot.  It is very steep. Again, the shuttle service is provided as an alternative to walking the trail. Dogs must be leashed and are not permitted in the Visitor Center.

Brasstown Bald is open daily from 10:00am – 5:00pm and Visitor Center and Day Use Area is $5/person (16+) (Includes entrance fee and shuttle fee). There’s even a reduced price for Interagency/Golden Senior or Access Pass Holders: $2.00 Shuttle Fee (Free Entrance). Please call 706-896-4137 if weather is questionable!  FOR DIRECTIONS AND MORE INFO CLICK HERE.
