Come join us at the 52nd Annual Blairsville Sorghum Festival and some great sorghum syrup! This year’s festival will be hosted by the Blairsville Sorghum Syrup Makers and Enotah CASA, Inc.
Activities:
Sorghum Syrup:
The main event!! Enjoy a biscuit and watch while the syrup is made. Sorghum syrup is made from the green juice of the sorghum plant, which is extracted from the crushed stalks and then heated to steam off the excess water leaving the syrup behind.
Arts and Crafts Vendors:
Enjoy a wide variety of handmade arts and crafts vendors. Support local small businesses including jewelry, soaps and lotions, clothing, wood and metal works and many more!
