Things To Do
2024 Harvest Festival October
Saturday: 10 AM to 5 PM Sunday: 10 AM to 4 PM Set against a backdrop of blazing fall colors and flavored with the scent of roasting peanuts and mulling spices, one of the South's most enduring festivals returns to Toccoa in October as it has every fall since 1978. Staged the last weekend in October, the festival features more than 160 craft and food vendors. The event hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. As always, the emphasis is on homemade, home baked and homegrown items and every year something new and unique is offered for the thousands of visitors who flock to Toccoa for this huge event. Two stages are set up for entertainment for the weekend, downtown shops and restaurants are open and several activities are available for children at the festival.
Tallulah Gorge State Park
Anthony and Danielle love the outdoors and hiking. Tallulah Gorge is a great Georgia State Park to visit and enjoy some hiking while you're in the area! The entrance fee is $5 per vehicle. The park features a great waterfall, hikes around the canyon, as well as hikes down into the canyon floor if you want to brave the stairs. Hikes onto the actual canyon floor do require a permit purchased on the day of the hike.
Jaemor Farms
Jaemor Farms is a market with fresh vegetables and fruit, honey, jams, and jellies. They also offer ice cream and have a small restaurant onsite if you're feeling hungry. Hours are 7 AM - 6 PM on Friday and Saturday, 1 PM - 6 PM on Sundays.
Toccoa Falls
Toccoa Falls is located on the campus of Toccoa Falls College. An easily accessible pathway approximately 100 yards leads to the falls from the historic Gate Cottage. The 186-foot, free-falling waterfall is the tallest free-falling waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Remember to bring your camera for some spectacular shots! Although privately owned by the college, the falls is open to the public for a nominal entrance fee during regular operating hours. Hours are subject to change due to campus closures, so always double check our “Are The Falls Open?” highlight on their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/toccoafallscollege/.
