Dahlonega's Christmas in July event brings Hallmark fans to Georgia
Christmas is coming early to Dahlonega. The annual Christmas in a Small Town event brings stars from popular holiday movies to North Georgia while giving local businesses a boost during the slower summer tourism season. Organizers hope the festival not only attracts visitors now but also inspires them to return during the holiday season, and maybe even convinces filmmakers to shoot future Christmas movies in Dahlonega.
