Warm Springs Harvest Hoedown Festival
Make your own special memories at Historic Warm Springs’s annual “Harvest Hoedown”
festival on Saturday & Sunday, October 11th & 12th! The day will be filled with local and
regional crafters, food vendors, and children’s activities. The Harvest Parade is at 11am. Enjoy
browsing in our specialty shops and dining in our unique cafes and restaurants, including the
famous Bulloch House, renowned for its tradition-
al Southern favorites.
This charming town was established in 1893 as
Bullochville and renamed Warm Springs in 1936.
First visiting in 1924, seeking relief and treatment
for his paralysis from polio, President Franklin D.
Roosevelt built his “Little White House” in 1932.
Nestled at the foot of Pine Mountain, Warm
Springs is also home to Georgia’s
largest state park and one of two national fish hatcheries in the state. Come dis-
cover all that Warm Springs has to offer!
