The Hiawassee Night Market started with a conversation that generated after visiting another market in South Georgia and recognizing the need for a market like this, one where people of all ages could gather in an outdoor setting, enjoy local artists, food (fresh and prepared), with music. The Hiawassee Downtown Development Authority (DDA) knew that such a market aligned with their vision of what was needed in the downtown area and the Night Market was created. The concept was simple: offer art, live music, games, and food in an open outdoor setting that would be welcoming for guests of all ages. The artisans, growers and food at the market is remarkable. We hope that you will visit the Night Market and savor all that is home grown and handmade! Make sure to bring your lawn chair to sit a spell and enjoy the live music. Click here for a complete listing of current vendors. Always free admission and parking is free too! Don’t forget to stop by the DDA booth to say hello, we look forward to seeing you at the Market!

His ability to seamlessly blend genres, from bluegrass to electronic, sets him apart, and with more than 2.1 billion global streams, he is one of the most influential voices in Contemporary Christian Music. Armed with five No. 1 radio singles, five GRAMMY nominations, and more than 20 Dove Award nominations — five of those being wins — Crowder's exploration of faith, redemption, and personal transformation continue to catapult the genre forward. In addition to the awards and numerous RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, the multi-instrumentalist is known for his genre-bending live performances that are anything but ordinary.

Energetic Performances, great songs, clean vocals, enthusiasm, and a true love for the people they sing for are ingredients of a professional music group that can be attributed to only a few out there. CAROLINA THE BAND is one of those few. CAROLINA has spent years touring the country, performing night in and night out in front of fans and perfecting their craft and giving audiences performances they will never forget. As a follow-up to their 2018 recording, "AMERICAN MORNING," CAROLINA has just finished two new recordings titled, "TURN A Legacy of American Songs" and "COUNTRY CLASSICS: Carolina Style," produced by mega-producer Wayne Haun on the prestigious Club44 Records label of Nashville, TN. These recordings solidify the band as a true American Music Group featuring songs of Faith, Family, and Freedom straight out of the Great American Songbook and Country Music royalty produced in the group's unique style.

From his chart-topping soulful gospel albums to his No. 1 country standards, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America's musical landscape than Gene Watson. As a newly inducted member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2020, Watson has been thrilling audiences for 60 years. This masterful country stylist from Houston, Texas, known as “The Singer's Singer,” has more than 75 charted titles, 23 Top 10 hits, six No. 1 country singles and five No. 1 gospel hits. Watson is also a member of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and the Houston, Texas Music Hall of Fame. Fans are still transfixed whenever Watson performs classics like “Farewell Party,” “Fourteen Carat Mind” or “Love in the Hot Afternoon.” A road warrior and considered one of the finest pure-country singers of his generation, Watson offers up one of the best traditional country shows in the business. Howard and David continue to prove that the trail they've ridden to fame has been as unique as their music itself—music that is now celebrating over 40 years of success. The road that started on the pop music charts in the ‘70's, took a winding turn into country music in the ‘80's, paving the way for duos to come, such as Brooks & Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich and previously—The Judds. But before the road forked into country, the musical odyssey of brothers Bellamy started creatively smoldering in their home state of Florida, before exploding nationally amidst the '70's pop music culture of L.A. By the late ‘70's The Bellamys were emerging on the country charts with another bona fide smash. “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the pop market just a few years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of fourteen No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone. Success followed success: “Dancing Cowboys,” “Sugar Daddy,” “You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie,” “Lovers Live Longer,” “Do You Love As Good As You Look,” “Redneck Girl,” “For All The Wrong Reasons,” “I Love Her Mind,” “I Need More Of You,” “Old Hippie,” “Too Much Is Not Enough,” “Kids Of The Baby Boom,” “Reggae Cowboy” and “Crazy From The Heart,”…all have lined the corridors of the Bellamy's musical history and their walls with platinum and gold. The Bellamy Brothers celebrated their 40th anniversary with the release of a two-CD collection, 40 years, an ambitious project containing 20 of their biggest hits and 20 brand-new songs. In 2019, the Bellamys released Over the Moon as well as their first book Let Your Love Flow – the Life and Times of The Bellamy Brothers. The book is about two Florida cowboys who journeyed from country poverty to worldwide musical stardom because they had the talent and because it never occurred to them, they couldn't make it.

Into the Wild — a six-song EP with her band, Golden Highway, and Molly Tuttle's most recent release from Nonesuch Records in fall of 2024, was a follow-up to the Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed 2023 album, City of Gold. Into the Wild debuted three new songs—the title track, “Getaway Girl,” and a cover of Kate Wolf's “Here in California”—as well as previously released covers of Jefferson Airplane's “White Rabbit” and Olivia Rodrigo's “good 4 u” and an alternate version of the City of Gold track “Stranger Things.” Earlier this year, Tuttle and the band earned their second consecutive GRAMMY win for Best Bluegrass album with City of Gold. The band was nominated for eight IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards and won Album of the Year for City of Gold: Tuttle and the band were also up for Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Instrumental Group of the Year, and Album of the Year for City of Gold; Tuttle is nominated for both Female Vocalist of the Year and Guitar Player of the Year, and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes for Fiddle Player of the Year and New Artist of the Year. Additionally, Jerry Douglas, who produced City of Gold with Tuttle and was nominated for Resophonic Guitar Player of the Year, will be inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame. Raised in Northern California, Tuttle moved to Nashville in 2015. In the years since, she has received many accolades; in addition to the two GRAMMY wins she was also nominated for Best New Artist. She earned three wins at the 2023 IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards and Tuttle won Album of the Year at the 2023 International Folk Music Awards. Additionally, she has earned Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2018 Americana Music Awards, and Guitar Player of the Year at the IBMAs in both 2017 and 2018. Tuttle has performed around the world, including shows with Billy Strings, Béla Fleck, Hiss Golden Messenger, Jason Isbell, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Dwight Yoakam, as well as at several major festivals including Newport Folk and Pilgrimage.

Lorrie Morgan, the first woman in her genre to begin her career with three consecutive Platinum albums, recently completed a new album with award-winning producer Richard Landis. She is undeniably one of the most eloquently emotive vocalists of modern times. She has been a daughter, a bride, a mother, a divorcee, a widow, a single mother, a breadwinner and, ultimately, a survivor. In many ways, Lorrie is a living, breathing country song, and she knows what she sings. Morgan is known for her lustrous vocal phrasing and the down-to-earth believability of her torchy performances. On records such as “A Picture of Me Without You" and "I Guess You Had to Be There," the ache is palpable. She is feisty and sassy on "Watch Me," "What Part of No" "Five Minutes" and "I Didn't Know My Own Strength." She has kicked up her stiletto heels in fun on her hits "Except for Monday" and "Go Away." On her epic "Something in Red" she is an honest, struggling everywoman. CMA winning, Grammy and ACM nominated artist T. Graham Brown has recorded 15 studio albums and charted more than 20 singles on the Billboard charts. He has had multiple number-one hits in country, gospel, and blues. Brown's voice is also recognized from his singing in advertising campaigns for McDonald's, Disneyland, Almond Joy, Coca-Cola, Dodge Truck, Ford, Hardee's, and many others, including the Taco Bell “Run For The Border” television spots.
