Northwest Georgia Spring Festival launches May 24

Northwest Georgia Spring Festival is rolling out a strong lineup of entertainment for all ages to enjoy. The inaugural event will span 15 acres of Cherokee Farms in LaFayette May 24-June 3.

The event strives to host 11 days of family fun at an affordable price, according to coordinator David Smith. Admission at the gate is $5 per person.

“We really want it to be a great festival for the Northwest Georgia area,” he said. “We are targeting four counties around us including Catoosa, Walker, Dade and Chattooga.”

Smith is working with his business partner, Sam Staffen; the pair has 50 years of combined event coordinating experience.

“Over 30 bands and 60 hours of music and we are still signing more bands every day,” said Smith, referring to the festival lineup. “We don’t have a county fair and I thought it was time to bring an event to my hometown.”
