About Lumpkin County Fair
Dahlonega was the site of America's first major gold rush in 1828 — nearly two decades before California's — and the county still draws prospectors today while hosting the University of North Georgia in one of the South's most charming mountain college towns.
What to Expect
Livestock and agricultural shows, 4-H exhibits, carnival rides, artisan vendors, and mountain community entertainment in the heart of historic gold rush country at the foot of the Blue Ridge.
Visitor Tips
Dahlonega's historic town square is one of North Georgia's finest, with gold mine tours, mountain wineries, and excellent dining. Plan a full day combining the fair with downtown Dahlonega.
