It is known for tranquility, spectacular nature, and incredible Georgia mountain properties. Tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Toccoa is small-town America at its very best. And the residents there have a wonderful knack for holiday festivals.
The Toccoa Harvest Festival, which began in 1978, takes place on the first week of each November. It is a celebration of thanks for the year's healthy crops, and to hope the new year will be fertile. In Toccoa, people come from their rustic mountain homes with all sorts of homemade treats, to share their delectable recipes with neighbors, family, and friends.
The festival also hosts a number of interesting exhibits, such as a petting zoo, a classic car show, and farm and art displays.
