ANOTHER DEEP ROOTS IN THE BOOKS! 🌳🎶

From the music on stage to the artists, vendors, food trucks, and familiar faces filling our streets, the 23rd annual Deep Roots Festival brought another full day of activity to the heart of our community.

We loved welcoming families, groups of friends, longtime festival-goers, and plenty of new faces to downtown Milledgeville! Whether you stopped by for the afternoon or stayed for the last song, we're so glad you spent part of your Saturday with us.

There's a lot that goes into making a festival like this happen. To our sponsors, volunteers, performers, vendors, downtown businesses, community partners, and everyone who helped bring this year's festival together, thank you!

Deep Roots is a community effort from start to finish, and we're grateful for the many people who continue to support this Milledgeville tradition.

Thanks for another great year. We'll see you next October!
