Georgia Mountain Fall Festival runs across two October weekends at the historic Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Hiawassee, featuring live music, arts and crafts, carnival rides, and North Georgia heritage programming. It shares its lakeside fairgrounds home with the older Georgia Mountain Fair and Georgia's Official State Fiddlers' Convention.
Its mountain foliage setting and fairgrounds programming make it a solid seasonal row.
The Fall Festival benefits from the same fairgrounds infrastructure built for its summer counterpart, the Georgia Mountain Fair, giving it access to the Anderson Music Hall, historic Pioneer Village, and 161 acres along Lake Chatuge without needing separate venue development
Splitting the event across two distinct October weekends, rather than a single continuous run, lets organizers layer in different programming, carnival rides and music on the earlier weekend, deeper history and culture programming on the later one, extending the festival's reach across the heart of North Georgia's fall color season
