🍂 Habersham Harvest Festival Weather Update
Due to the anticipated weather from Hurricane Isaias and its lingering effects, we have made the difficult decision to amend Saturday and Sunday’s festival activities to ONLY include the carnival rides. This is a serious decision we did not make lightly. We know how much this weekend means to our community, but the safety of our guests, merchants, vendors, and event team must come first. We are grateful that the Big Round Wheel crew is willing to still staff all the rides throughout the weekend and operate them between rain showers or if the weather breaks on Sunday.
Revised Festival Schedule:
🎡 Saturday & Sunday: Carnival rides only. Rides will be staffed throughout the weekend hours, beginning at 10 AM both days, and will operate in light rain and between rain showers, when safe.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Let’s show up big Friday for our local businesses, vendors, and carnival crew! ❤️
