**Festival Volunteers**
The Dahlonega Arts & Wine Festival, May 18 & 19, 2024 is the perfect event for lovers of art, wine, and jazz. Chestatee Artists will present this exciting event for the 7th year in the historic downtown square and adjacent Hancock Park. The focus is on featuring high quality arts and crafts, fine local and regional wines, and terrific jazz performances to entertain our visitors for this truly cultural event.
Seventy or more carefully selected artists and crafters will display
creative products for purchase during the two-day event in downtown Dahlonega.
Hours for the festival are 10 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5
pm. Visitors will be
able to select from paintings in oil, acrylics, watercolors and mixed media, as
well as creative photography. Quality crafts accepted by the jury committee
will include ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, wood items, leather crafts, fused
and stained glass, fiber arts, custom knives, and other handcrafted creations. Gourmet
specialty foods will also
be featured.
On the Hancock
Park Pavilion Stage, amazing jazz
performers will entertain festival goers who are in the wine venue or in
Hancock Park in their own lawn chairs. Musical groups will feature great jazz,
blues, salsa and many other genres to keep your “fingers snapping.” Performers
from the region and Atlanta will rock the festival with groups like Brookwood Split. They have been a big hit at our festivals, along with many
exceptional singers and musicians. These free performances begin at 1 pm and
continue during festival hours.
