First Fridays, May through October The Music in the Park series showcases the diversity of local musicians monthly. Bring a picnic supper to the Hancock Park (located one block north of the Square) and spend some time with your family and friends. This free series held on the first Friday of each month from April through October is an excellent way to wind down from the week and set the tone for a great weekend.

DOWNTOWN FARMERS MARKET The Dahlonega Farmers Market is a weekly event that brings local residents to the downtown business district. It promotes a sense of community and provides fresh, locally grown produce to customers, while offering agribusiness sales opportunities to growers from Lumpkin and nearby counties. ll items at the Market are locally grown and seasonal. In May, buy locally grown plants, such as vegetable, garden, landscape, and house plants. With the arrival of summer, you can buy vegetables and seasonal fruits, plus jams, jellies, and baked goods containing locally grown ingredients. The Market season runs Saturdays (or until inventories are sold out) from May until October.
