Held annually in early March, the Dahlonega Literary & Science Festival is a free, family-friendly celebration of storytelling, knowledge, and culture nestled in the heart of the North Georgia mountains.
This weekend-long event brings together regional and local authors for engaging panel discussions, thought-provoking presentations, and intimate book signings.
From compelling fiction to gripping nonfiction, the festival offers something for every kind of reader. Sessions often highlight Appalachian themes and Southern stories, along with topics that span science, history, and the art of writing.
One of the most loved traditions is Lunch with the Authors, where attendees can dine and chat with featured writers in a relaxed setting. Workshops and sessions are typically held at local venues near Dahlonega’s historic downtown, making it easy to enjoy the literary events and explore the town’s charm.
Whether you're a lifelong book lover or a curious newcomer, the Dahlonega Literary & Science Festival is the perfect excuse for a fun and inspiring weekend getaway.
