Annual Barnesville Buggy Days Festival

The 2024 50th Annual Barnesville Buggy Days Festival is on!

Celebrate At Barnesville Buggy Days! Barnesville Buggy Days is the city's benchmark festival, celebrating Barnesville's historic heritage as the "Buggy Capital of the South" during the late 1800's and early 1900's. With original events such as hog calling, wagon pulling, choir competitions, and even a fiddle contest, Buggy Days got its start in November of 1974. Since then, it has been featured in Southern Living Magazine, and its parade has even been granted the title of the "Longest Hometown Parade in the South". Held every third weekend in September, the Barnesville Buggy Days Festival is dedicated to furthering the camaraderie of family, community, and tradition, with the exhibition, sale, and charitable exchange of local, handcrafted, handmade goods from around the southeast.
