Bear on the Square Mountain Festival

April 23-24, 2022

Bear on the Square is as authentic as it gets. This Appalachian heritage festival and experience will play you some mountain music — or you pick your own fiddle, bajo, dulcimore and more and join in on this annual town tradition.

Dahlonega’s historic public square is prime music territory for two full days, kicked off with pre-festival jam sessions on Friday as live music circulates all weekend.

Spotlighting bluegrass and old-time music, Bear on the Square also includes a juried artist marketplace featuring traditional mountain crafts, storytelling, free music workshops and demonstrations, local wine and beer, dancing and more against a backdrop of mountain city springtime charm.

Check back later this month for a full schedule of events!
