In conjunction with Georgia's Official Folk Life Play, Swamp Gravy, the Colquitt Miller Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the first Bless Your Art, Southern Folk Life Festival on October 22, 2016. This will be held in downtown Colquitt on the square and will feature homemade arts, crafts, folk art, demonstrations, and more! Chamber president KaCee Holt said, “We have about 40 vendors and a variety of them. We have local and area jewelry makers, craft makers, baked goods, and folk and fine artists to name a few. We have several food vendors coming, but are encouraging attendees to also shop and eat in our downtown area. That’s what it is all about, to bring people to our town and stimulate our local economy.”
The festival will kick off at 10:00 am and run until 5:00 pm. The festival will take place on the inside street of the downtown square. Vendors will be set up on the North side of the square. KidZone Entertainment with their bouncy houses will be set up on the West side of the square, along with our food vendors joining them.
With Swamp Gravy in its 24th year of production, the chamber took this opportunity to even more celebrate the arts and folk life, hoping that it would be a new tradition in town! The south is known for their unique talents and artwork and this will be a great way to share that with others.
