The hours do not all match
The City’s event page gives the hours above: Thursday 1 to 7 PM, Friday 9 AM to 9 PM with the movie at dusk, and Saturday 9 AM to 2 PM. The City’s calendar entries for the same weekend give shorter hours: Friday 1 to 6 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 2 PM. We use the event page because it carries the full schedule. If you are coming for a Friday morning class or early on Saturday, check the City’s Facebook updates the week of the event.
The food drive bag
Bring five non-perishable food items for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank drive and you get a free event bag while supplies last. The event itself is free to attend.
Parking
The City’s event page does not give parking or street-closure details for the weekend. The City has not published a general downtown parking map either. What we have verified is on our parking page.
