Visitors to Bear on the Square in Dahlonega get wet as rain showers kept the festival wet all day Sunday.
For the past 10 years Jeff McWaters has attended the annual Bear on the Square Mountain Festival, which was held on the historic Dahlonega square over the weekend. The two-day festival was rain-or-shine, and this year vendors and visitors had the chance to experience both. The festival is a collection of the Southern Appalachian culture featuring bluegrass music, eclectic arts, craft vendors and unique tastes of local merchants that only Dahlonega can offer.
