Spring is emerging, and there’s plenty going on in Northwest Georgia this weekend!

FRIDAY

Farm to Fork is one of my favorite restaurants in NW Georgia, and it’s great that they’re independent, culinarily creative, and support live music.

Band Chickamauga is performing Friday night, and they have another live band— Common Ground— on Saturday, and karaoke Sunday.

Farm to Fork, 120 General Lee Dr, Ringgold * music @ 8:30 pm * free

“Multi-genre party band” Sinners Row is performing at Dalton’s Crescent City Tavern Friday night!

If you haven’t visited downtown Dalton recently, there’s a thriving, walkable downtown that’s lively on the weekends.

Crescent City Tavern, 324 S Depot St, Dalton * 9 pm * $10

Pro wrestling from AVF is coming to LaFayette! Tickets are available here.

Organizers say they’ll be honoring Brennon Beavers and Cassiddy Mitchell, who were killed in a vehicle crash on Highway 27 this week.

LaFayette Recreation Center, 638 South Main, Lafayette * 7:30 pm * $15

SATURDAY

Rangers at the Cloudland Canyon State Park are leading tours through Sittons Cave this weekend.

“These 2 – 2 1/2 hour-long Ranger-led programs will take you crawling in the mud, scrambling over rocks, and encountering strange creatures while exploring the fascinating world underground!”

There are three dates for tours in April, but more are scheduled later in the summer.

Register for the cave tour by calling the park office at 706-657-4050.

Cloudland Canyon State Park, 122 Cloudland Canyon Park Rd, Rising Fawn * 9:30 am – 12:30 pm

Fallon and the Smoke Show is performing Saturday night at The Grindstone Tavern!

Check out the clip below from their set at the 2024 Honeybee Festival.

The Grindstone Tavern, 50A Fieldstone Village Dr, Rock Spring * ??? * free

SUNDAY

Easter Sunday is a good time to visit a new church if you’re interested in joining a community of faith.

Here’s a modest sampling of invitations from the dozens of churches across Northwest Georgia— and many have events to celebrate the holiday.

Happy Easter & God Bless!
