Bear on the Square Mountain Festival
The Bear on the Square Mountain Festival is an incredible
weekend of music and art held each spring in the foothills of the North
Georgia mountains. From April 18-20, 2008, old time and bluegrass music will
fill the Historic Public Square in Dahlonega, GA. Headlining the stage
performances are old-time music legends Norman and Nancy Blake and the dynamic
Carolina Chocolate Drops with their exciting, authentic string band music.
Jamming goes on day and night around the square while other local, regional,
and national musicians take the stage all day Saturday and Sunday. A juried
artist's marketplace features traditional mountain art and crafts. Extensive
music workshops, a Sunday morning Gospel Jam, a street dance, a live auction,
children's activities, a heritage center demonstrating mountain traditions,
and of course, food, complete the offerings, making Bear on the Square the
perfect outing for the whole family.
