With its wide brick sidewalks, mature trees, elegant boutiques, and outdoor dining, Downtown Gainesville celebrates its Southern charm with down-home style. There's even a historic town square with a statue and benches. Gainesville is located along the popular Lake Lanier, a resort destination known for boating, fishing, swimming, and Lanier World water park. It is also a college town, home to Brenau University and the University of North Georgia - Gainesville Campus.
Downtown Gainesville hosts a wide variety of events and festivals. There's the Spring Chicken Festival, held on the Square and featuring an art market and live music. The highlight of this festival is its chicken -- this is the state's only official chicken cook-off. It also features a unique "Re-Hatched" market -- an arts and crafts market that features artwork made from recycled items. Other events include the Rubber Duck Derby, First Friday summer concerts, and a downtown Beach Bash.
Downtown Gainesville is a pet-friendly neighborhood, and even has a day dedicated to pets: Mutts on Main. This event includes a fashion show, live music, pet vendors, pet contests, a pet vaccination clinic, and pet adoptions. Gainesville is home to several poultry processing plants, giving it the nickname, "Poultry Capital of the World." You'll find the Chicken Monument in Poultry Park.
