Dahlonega, Georgia
Presented by Chestatee Artists, Inc.
Around historic downtown Dahlonega & adjacent Hancock Park
Saturday 10am-6pm & Sunday 10am-5pm
90+ Artists
Deadline: March 9, 2024

Application fee: $20/Booth fee: $160

The 9th Dahlonega Arts & Wine Festival focuses on quality arts and crafts, regional & local wines, craft beer, and free live jazz performances. Last year our festival was Voted BEST OF GEORGIA for the Festival Category. Chestatee Artists presents this event and we always have three to four feet between arts/crafts booths so booths can be viewed from three sides for better viewing. We also have nighttime security with local off-duty deputies.
We are adding some extra booth spaces since we have closed the downtown festival footprint to vehicle traffic for the safety of attendees and participants.

Last year, one of our participants said that this festival put him at the highest level of sales he has ever had, which was in the thousands. Another participant said they love being in our festival because our volunteers take good care of them.

We feature each artist/crafter on our Dahlonega Arts & Wine Festival Facebook page with a few sentences and
one or two photos of their work.
