Join the Gee’s Bend community in this annual celebration of its generations-old quiltmaking tradition, featuring quilt displays and sales, workshops, guided tours, food, music, and more.
“At this festival, you'll get introduced to the quilters and to the lifestyle of Gee's Bend. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get hands-on experience, from workshops to storytelling, and learn what our community is really like. We have a whole different language here, and this is your chance to learn it. A common phrase around here is, ‘You never meet a stranger when you come to Gee's Bend.’ We can’t wait to welcome visitors to our community at the Airing of the Quilts Festival.”
