Spring may be coming to a
close, but the wildflowers are still blooming and there’s still plenty of
springtime sunshine left to enjoy for the heat of summer rolls in! In other
parts of the south, the official beginning of summer on June 21 seems only
technical, as by the beginning of June they can already fry eggs on their
sidewalks, but not us! We’ll retain some mountain shade and cool lakeside
breezes for a few more weeks.
If you’re looking to beat the heat this Memorial
Day weekend, travel to Georgia’s Blue Ridge to
experience our
38th Annual Spring Arts in the Park Festival, one of our signature events. With over 185 fine arts, crafts and food
booths, the festival has something for everyone. There are always activities
for the children, along with special events for the big kids. Being in downtown
Blue Ridge will also offer the chance to explore your favorite shops, galleries
and restaurants and find out what's new! We’ve got plenty of new offerings to
tempt your palate (and some to tempt your wallet too – have you seen our
beautiful galleries and home stores downtown?).
Before you book your
accommodations, be sure to check out the page on our website dedicated to our
Spring Cabin Specials – there
are over
fifty specials and promotions provided by our lodging partners to make
your stay more thrifty and allow you to carry more into those new downtown
offerings, including some of our most sought-after cabins and rental companies.
Beat the crowds and beat the heat, and spend a relaxing weekend in the
mountains of Blue Ridge, Georgia!
