Since the 1970s, the Marigold Festival has been organized with the purpose of bringing the community together through music and art. Dozens of arts, crafts and specialty vendors will be sharing their creations, and a selection of rock and country musicians will perform starting at noon. This year’s lineup will open with kid-friendly music from Sir Crazy Pants, followed by Women in STEM, Donovan Ram Band, Kimberly Morgan York, Michael Joe White, The Howdies, Ma’en Mills and the Randall Bramblett Band. The festival’s featured artist for 2025 is Miranda Bellah, an Athens-based surface design illustrator whose work focuses on nature and repurposing materials. The festival will begin with a parade at 10 a.m. There will also be a 10K race—the second oldest 10K in Georgia—at 7:30 a.m. and a car show from 11 a.m.–3 p.m.
