The annual

events that take place in and around Fayette County are a large part of

what makes this area great. The annual traditions are a celebration of

local artisans, good food, good music and community spirit. No matter

how many changes the area has undergone, one can count on the local festivals

and events taking place.

Fayetteville

is the site of a number of great festivals including Taste of Fayette,

the Old Courthouse Art Show, July Jam, Bark in the Park, the Fayette County

Kiwanis Fair, the Main Street Festival, the South Metro Rose Society Rose

Show and more. Each one is a good draw, bringing in people from all over

the state as well as the Southeast. All of these festivals will return

in 2003, probably bigger and better than before.

Festivals and

events that take place in Peachtree City each year include Touch-A-Truck,

Shakerag Festival, Fiesta on the Plaza, the Chili Challenge, Last fling,

the Great Georgia Air Show, the Japanese-American Friendship Society Festival,

the Peachtree City Garden Tour and the annual Kiwanis pancake breakfast

among others.

Other events

that are enjoyed by many in the area include the Georgia Renaissance Festival,

Powers Crossroads, the Cotton Pickin' Fair in Gay, Ga., the Old Town Sharpsburg

Festival, Inman Farm Days, Founders Day in Tyrone, the annual festival

in Brooks, the Turin Antique Farm Power Show and Tractor Pull, and the

Coweta County Fair.

These events

offer something for everyone, which is why they continue to grow in popularity.

With these events to look forward to, 2003 will most certainly be a good

year.
