In recent years, Dahlonega and Lumpkin
County have been recognized as "the heart of the North Georgia Wine
Country". The county features five vineyards and wineries that attract
many tourists. The historic Dahlonega Square is also a popular tourist
destination, with gift shops, restaurants, art galleries and artists' studios.
The city's local festivals draw many tourists. "Bear on the Square",
an annual three-day festival held the third weekend in April, marks the day
that a black bear wandered onto the square. It features bluegrass and old-time
music. "Gold Rush Days", an annual two-day event the third weekend in
October, attracts over 200,000 people.
Dahlonega is home to the Holly Theatre
