The 12th annual 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 blue grass 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.
