To ensure our ISO rating for fire protection is maintained, hydrant testing will begin soon and should continue through July. This annual event is required and keeps our homeowner insurance rates down and maintains our ISO Rating at 3. Please be patient with this process, as it may cause some cloudy water. Staff will be working diligently to clear the lines as they go. If you experience any discolored water, you may need to flush your lines. This does not impact the drinkability of the water in any way. If you have questions, please call City Hall at 706-265-3256.

We were proud to host the 2025 Bicycle Ride Across Georgia. Close to 1,000 bicycle riders arrived in the city on June 3rd, camping in Main Street Park and the Junior High School. That night, they enjoyed a movie on the green in the amphitheater that was also open to the public. June 4th was a layover day with participants touring downtown, the GRHOF, Grandaddy Mimms Distillery, the Atlanta Motorsports Park, North Georgia Premium Outlets, Amicalola Falls State Park, and other side adventures. The day ended with a concert in the amphitheater featuring two bands, Radford Windham and Step Back Cadillac and the Tommy Townsend Band. The concert was open to the public. At 7 :00 a.m. on June 5th, the BRAG riders left for their next stop, Clarkesville, GA.

We have hosted two Food Truck Fridays, one in May and one in June. Our next food truck night is scheduled for July 11th, followed by events on August 1st, September 12th, and October 10th. Our annual Christmas special event with the tree lighting, Santa, food trucks, music, the parade, and the popular Jingle Market will be on November 22nd.

Don’t forget the Amicalola Regional Farmers Market every Saturday through mid-October. We have tentatively scheduled two concerts for later this year on August 23rd and September 27th in the Main Street Park amphitheater. Watch Main Street Park for a new shelter and restroom that are under construction
