Georgia in March is warm, frequently sunny, and a great time to visit – whether from nearby or far away – before the tourist season really gets going.
March festivals in Georgia include Savannah’s massively popular St Patrick’s Day celebrations, the Valdosta Azalea Festival, Darien’s Blessing of the Fleet festival and the beginning of Macon’s Cherry Blossom Festival, with other food, music and community festivals across the state highlighting the best of Georgia’s local and international culture and cuisine.
Other things to do in Georgia in March include quieter visits to historic cities such as Savannah or Madison (the end of the month is best for Savannah’s famously dazzling displays of azaleas) or an off-season visit to one of Georgia’s relaxed beach towns. March is also a great time of year for the outdoors, with beautiful scenery and abundant hiking and biking facilities at the state’s many parks and refuges.
