Bear On The Square Mountain Festival

April 26 - April 27, 2025

Bear_On_The_SquareThe Bear on the Square Mountain Festival is an incredible weekend of music and art held each spring in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains. Old-time and bluegrass music will fill the Historic Public Square in Dahlonega, Georgia. Jamming goes on day and night around the square while other local, regional, and national musicians take the stage all day Saturday and Sunday.

A juried artist's marketplace features traditional mountain art and crafts. Extensive music workshops, a Sunday morning Gospel Jam, a street dance, a live auction, children's activities, a heritage center demonstrating mountain traditions, and of course, food complete the offerings, making Bear on the Square the perfect outing for the whole family.

This year, the kick-off concert on April 25 will feature the Becky Buller Band. A ticket is required for the kick-off concert.
