About Dawson County Fair

Dawson County is the birthplace of NASCAR champion Bill Elliott — whose family racing legacy is celebrated at the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame in Dawsonville — and serves as the mountain gateway to Amicalola Falls State Park, home to the longest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi.

What to Expect

Livestock shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, fair food, and community entertainment celebrating the mountain heritage and motorsports legacy of this gateway county to Georgia's high country.

Visitor Tips

Dawsonville is the last real town before the North Georgia mountains. Amicalola Falls and the approach trail to the Appalachian Trail are minutes away — plan a mountain adventure around your fair visit.
