Sugar Hill, Georgia
Presented by:  City of Sugar Hill
40 Artists
Deadline:  Sept. 8

Application/Booth Fee: $100

We have had a fall festival the last 10 years, but in 2014 we celebrated the 75th anniversary and re-branded the event in 2015 as Sugar Rush. This year we want more art, more fun, and more sweets in Sugar Hill. This event is located in downtown Sugar Hill. It is an outdoor event, beginning with a 5k at 8:30am. Vendors, rides, food trucks, and activities are open from 11am-5pm. The day ends with a concert.

Located in Gwinnett County, we are one of 16 very close cities. We have two school clusters, so there are lots of families, very active people, and a lot of downtown city centers. Our Arts Commission would like to create more public art and this is a great opportunity to start that.


The art element of Sugar Rush will be located on our turf lawn with tents lined along sidewalks, across from the food trucks (guaranteed traffic!). We want artists to be able to feature their work and make money from their work.  We only charge an application/booth fee of $100 total.

Last year we did an indoor, exhibit  style, juried art show.  We had 40 participants and a few sales.  Foot traffic was not as great because guests had to come inside City Hall to view the work.  This year we are putting the artists outside in the center of the party. Different from last year, we will also have a pottery glazing area, candy stations pumpkin painting and cupcake decoration in other areas.

We are located in between two major highways and in the middle of one of the fastest growing counties in the county.  We expect over 10,000 people this ear, as we had that many last year.  We get a lot of road traffic as well as a great, active community!

Some of our marketing: 

Advertisements in the local papers (Gwinnett Daily Post, Atlanta Journal Constitution), on Facebook (7,000 likes), Twitter, Instagram, our city newsletter (sent out with gas bills to all Sugar Hill gas customers ~21,000 homes). We also have banners up at 2 major intersections that get at least 15,000 trips of traffic a day, as well as banners at our large parks.
