Did you know there was a real Bear on the Square? In the Spring of 1996, we were lucky enough to see the tiny bear cub that climbed the old sycamore outside of Brad Walker Pottery. His arrival caused quite a commotion! That eventful afternoon has transformed into an annual spring festival weekend filled with traditional music, mountain crafts, and more! Welcome back, Bear on the Square! Don't forget to stop in for our traditional Southern Confections, Costa Rican coffee, and a taste of Dahlonega's history! https://www.dahlonega.org/blog/the-true-story-of-that-bear-on-the-square/
