Downtown Festivities | July 25–28, 2025
This July, Dahlonega is celebrating everyone’s favorite holiday a little early! While the Christmas in a Small Town convention is bringing a touch of Hallmark magic to our community, our charming downtown is also getting into the festive spirit — with no ticket required.
