The Rhododendron Festival

Spend a day in the most beautiful part of North Georgia-Hiawassee and the stunning Hamilton Gardens. This magical botanical garden is filled with native wildflowers such as trilliums, shooting stars and trout lilies, and more than 1,500 rhododendrons and native azaleas making it the largest collection in the Southeast.

During peak bloom time we will celebrate our beautiful native flowers with a Rhododendron Festival. Enjoy live music, food, drinks, a plant sale, daily seminars and more.

Admission is free to the festival and a $6 donation to tour the gardens.
