The Small Georgia Town That Transforms Into A Watermelon Wonderland Each Year

It might be common knowledge for many Georgians by now that we have one small town which has been dubbed the “Watermelon Capital of the World”. And what better time to celebrate the Watermelon Capital than smack dab in the middle of summer. For visitors looking for a bit of a refresher, or those nearby who want to celebrate all things watermelon, we have the perfect place to do so.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
