The biggest April festivals in Georgia include the Savannah Music Festival, Macon’s Cherry Blossom Festival, and the huge Atlanta Dogwood Festival.
Other popular Georgia festivals in April include food and drink themed festivals such as the Woodbine Crawfish Festival, Vidalia Onion Festival, Tybee Wine Festival and the Taste of Marietta; Thomasville Rose Show and other flower shows; many arts and crafts festivals; and the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
Besides its festivals, the best things to do in Georgia in April take advantage of the weather: enjoying the state’s natural beauty at its state parks and wildlife refuges, or sightseeing in its many historic cities and towns.
