Food festivals in Georgia are some of the best-loved and widely-attended events in the state, with a huge variety of different festivals bringing visitors from far and wide.
Food festivals in Georgia vary considerably. Some of the most popular events are fully focused on the food, such as the bigger cities’ food, wine and beer festivals or festivals based around a specific food type such as BBQ or seafood.
Other, community-based festivals celebrate a local food or product for which the area is famous, with an equal emphasis on family-friendly fun, parades, arts and crafts and the like. Other Georgia food festivals highlight the cuisine (and sometimes music and arts too) of one or several of the state’s many different cultures.
