Wildflower Festival of the Arts Dahlonega | May 17th + 18th 2014

It's Wildflower Festival of the Arts time in Dahlonega!  This annual festival features an artist market, a selection of locally grown plants, flowers and vegetables, and we're sure plenty of musicians picking and grinning on park benches and under tents around the square.  Stop by Cranberry Corners if you're in town for the festivities.  We'll be featuring lots of specials for the weekend and would love to see your face!

Dahlonega's 2014 Bear on the Square Festival...a big success!

Many locals will tell you, Dahlonega's Bear on the Square festival is one of their favorite festivals of the year.  Held this past April 26th and 27th, here are a few of our favorite memories from the 2 day event.  The weather was perfect, the music was wonderful!

Long burning soy candles that smell DELICIOUS!

Are the leaves on the trees in Dahlonega changing yet?  Not quite - but we're already feeling night time dips in temperatures that make us excited for Fall.  Visiting the North Georgia mountains during the next few months?  Going to the Gold Rush festival in October?  Then stop by Cranberry Corners - Dahlonega's most eclectic mercantile for the past 18 years.  We've got a new look, and can't wait to share it with you.  Here are a few pictures of our Dahlonega gift shop - with a new, general store feel!

It's time for the Bear on the Square Festival!

Starting tonight, the bears take over the square for the 2013 Bear on the Square Festival!  A Country Auction on Friday night kicks things off - then the weekend carries on with copious amounts live bluegrass music and an arts and craft marketplace. This is truly one of the top festivals in North Georgia, and certainly one of Dahlonega's finest!
