There is a festival in Georgia that just so happens to be dedicated to the Vidalia Onion, and let’s just say it is a can’t-miss experience.
Located inside a city with its water tower advertising this sweet vegetable - you know this is serious business.
What has been heralded as the Five Don’t-Miss Festivals Across the U.S. by MSNBC, featured on The Food Network, and is a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event is back in 2024 for its 47th year of fun.
We’re talking about a culinary extravaganza of all things onion, plus a carnival (throughout the festival), a movie night under the stars (4/23), a street dance and fireworks show (4/25), art, and shopping.
Some of the highlights of the festival every year revolve around the Vidalia Onion Eating Contest as well as the Onion Recipe Contest and Public Tasting (4/27).
So if you’re all about eating onions, this fest is for you. And don't overlook the Southern sweetened iced tea, fresh lemonade, and our favorite - the funnel cakes.
This year as part of the concert series, the Friday night concert is headlined by the Peach State's very own country sensation and Grand Ole Opry member, Lauren Alaina!
Get ready for an extraordinary show in the sky featuring the spectacular Blue Angels, the precision of the Georgia State Patrol's flying team, and a variety of incredibly brave aerial performers.
