Currahee Club - An Invitation to Summer Events in the Northern Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) April 12, 2017 -- This summer, one of the finest golf resorts near Atlanta, Currahee Club, will be hosting two exciting events that are open to the public. On Sunday June 25th, folks are invited to attend The Patriotic Pops Concert, to hear the sweet, melodic strings of the Toccoa Symphony Orchestra.
Playing music since 1977, the Toccoa Symphony Orchestra is a mainstay in the community. Each year, the full orchestra of 50 - 60 musicians performs three exclusive concerts with instrumental soloists, and regional vocalists. The Patriotic Pops Concert will take place on the Grand Lawn of the Currahee Club, beginning at 5:00 pm, and a delicious picnic dinner is included with the price of a ticket. Tickets can be purchased online at the symphony's website.
The day before, on June 24th, Currahee Club kicks off its Summer Farmer's Market with more than 50 regional vendors. This will be a fun filled day of strolling through the market on the Grand Lawn of the Currahee Amenity Campus adjacent to Lake Hartwell. In the past, vendors at the market have offered interesting things such as fresh honey, homemade jams and jellies, organic fruits and vegetables, pastries, soaps, lotions, quilts, candles, and other hand made goods. There have also been delightful wines provided by the Currahee Vineyard and dulcimer music by the Yonah Mountain Pickers.
Both events will take place at Currahee Club in one of the most affordable mountain towns, the historic town of Toccoa in northern eastern Georgia. Toccoa is located one hour south of Greenville, South Carolina and one hour north of Atlanta. Highlights in the area include:
- Toccoa Falls, one of the highest free-flowing waterfalls East of the Mississippi River
- Currahee Mountain, popular for hiking, mountain biking, rock-climbing and repelling
- Historic downtown Toccoa, with eloquent old buildings, museums, monuments, restaurants, coffee shops, a gift shop and bakeries.

The Ritz Theatre at the Schaefer Center, with a variety of theatrical performaces, musical series, and special events throughout the year
The "Toast of Toccoa" festival, a celebration of the arts, beer, and wine which takes place the first week of May
