Fall festivals in Georgia

Fall has arrived and that means festivals galore. North Georgia hosts a multitude of special festivals ranging from art and apples to beer and wine. Check out the 2009 Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay, which runs the second and third weekends in October, for all things apple or discover the history of Georgia's gold mining days during Dahlonega Gold Rush Days running October 17 and 18.

The festivals provide food and fun while the changing of the leaves on the trees offer colorful vistas with every turn of the road.
