North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains | Blairsville, Georgia | Union County | The Sourghum Festival
It's almost that time of year again! My favorite time by far. I love autumn in the North Georgia Mountains. The air is fresh and crisp and leaves explode with vibrant color against the blue mountain ridges. For me, it's the most wonderful time of the year.
In the evening, enjoy a warm fire and end the day with a feeling of pure comfort and joy. 
Yes, I do love autumn in North Georgia, and with autumn comes great fall festivals. Soon, we will be celebrating
THE 40TH ANNUAL SORGHUM FESTIVAL
This is Blairsville's most famous event, taking place the 2nd and 3rd weekend in October. Locals and visitors come together to celebrate the rich mountain heritage of this quiet town. Sponsored by the Blairsville Jaycees, the admission and parking is free and will be held at Blairsville's Meeks Park starting at 9:00 a.m.
The Jaycees have sponsored this family friendly festival for 40 years. The Blairsville Jaycees are not a very large group but they certainly have accomplished by far the largest and one of the most popular festivals in North Georgia with strong support from many local businesses.
