CLARKESVILLE – For the 57th year, downtown Clarkesville was transformed Saturday for the Mountain Laurel Festival.
Georgia’s oldest festival of its type, the Mountain Laurel Festival falls in May each year and features a parade, nearly 100 arts, crafts and food vendors, a car show, children’s area and day-long entertainment.
Joan Church, Habersham County chief appraiser, was selected by the Clarkesville Lions Club to serve as the 2019 Grand Marshal for the event, which is named for the flower that blooms in the region in spring and early summer.
