Georgia Mountain Fair is Coming to Hiawassee

Howdy again, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. You know, living here in Jasper, we’re lucky to be just a stone’s throw away from some of the best mountain traditions in the world.

If you’re looking for a reason to pack up the family and head a little further north this August, I’ve got just the ticket for you. It’s time for the 76th Annual Georgia Mountain Fair up in Hiawassee!

A Mountain Tradition Like No Other

From August 14th through August 22nd, 2026, the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds will be buzzing with excitement. It’s about an hour and fifteen minutes from us here in Jasper, and let me tell you, it is well worth the drive.

Here’s what’s cooking at the fair this year:

• The Music: Anderson Music Hall is going to be rocking! They’ve got Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone on the 14th, the legendary Vince Gill on the 15th and 16th, and Casting Crowns closing things out on the 26th.

• The Pioneer Village: This is one of my favorite parts. It’s like stepping back in time to see how our mountain ancestors lived—complete with moonshine making, cider squeezing, and blacksmithing demonstrations.

• The Carnival Midway: If you’ve got kids (or you’re just a kid at heart), the rides open a day early on August 13th.

• Puppy Pals Live: As a man who loves a happy dog (you know my slogan—Keepin’ the Tail Waggin’), I’m excited about this America’s Got Talent act featuring rescued pups performing stunts.

Don’t Bring the “Fair” Back Home With You

Now, speaking of “mountain traditions,” there’s one we’d all like to do without: summer pests. While you’re out enjoying the funnel cakes and the fresh mountain air, those North Georgia ants, roaches, and termites are looking for their own fairground—and they usually pick your crawlspace or your kitchen pantry. This time of year, with the humidity high, things like Subterranean Termites are more active than ever, and Stink Bugs are just waiting for a chance to move in.
