Autumn Is On Its Way!!
  WOW! We can't believe that fall is already knocking on our door! It's been a wonderful summer, but we're ready for the cooler temperatures and looking forward to the changing leaves of Autumn!

Dahlonega is also getting ready for fall!
Here are some of the events going on in September:

The Mountain Music and Medicine Show
 revives the "old time" radio show complete with live music and entertainment every first Saturday of the month! This month the show will be on the seventh. Live radio broadcast on Gold Country 104.3 FM.

The Folkways Center will also be hosting The Second Annual Bluegrass and Folkways Festival the 13th, 14th & 15th, bringing some of the best Bluegrass, Old-Time and Traditional Acoustic Music from around the country!
An event not to miss!

Dahlonega will be officially kicking off the Fall season with Autumnfest on the 21st & 22nd with food, arts and crafts on the square, dancing, music and much more!

And For the Athletes, The Six Gap Century - Three Gap Fifty Bike Ride provides a challenging ascent and descent of either three or six (your choice) of the steepest climbs in the North Georgia Mountains. The Six Gap Century ride is 100 miles with over 10,700 feet of vertical climbing! While the Three Gap Fifty provides a little bit easier trip with only 50 miles. A great event to spectate or participate!
