Visitor Entry: $10 -- 12 and under free
Gate: 10 am to 6 pm, APRIL 25, 2026
The Official Trout Festival of Georgia returns to downtown city park in Blue Ridge, Georgia, gathering fishermen, river sports enthusiasts, and outdoor recreation fans and their families in Blue Ridge, Georgia for fun, food, activities, entertainment, shopping and recreational services, while increasing the public's knowledge of trout and the cold-water conservation associated with Trout Unlimited.
The all-volunteer, fundraising event combines fishing -- especially trout fishing/fly-fishing -- with services and resources that engage fishing, mountain biking, hiking, camping , kayaking, paddling and boating. Retail exhibitors present wildlife-oriented art/housewares/decor, outdoor recreation gear, outfitters/guide services/information, foods and beverages. Non-profit exhibitors provide resources and services associated with community outreach programs.
And the return of the TROUT FEST ACTIVITY ZONE and staged concerts at the TROUT FEST SOUND STAGE top the day in the historic, downtown district of Blue Ridge.
Net proceeds of Trout Fest support cold-water conservation, education, recreation and community outreach programs funded (all or in part) by Blue Ridge Mountain Trout Unlimited #696.
