Glennville Sweet Onion Festival

 Glennville’s biggest annual event, the Glennville Sweet Onion Festival, has been a Glennville tradition for generations. Glennville is the largest community in Tattnall County, which grows more Vidalia Sweet Onions than any of the other official Georgia Department of Agriculture Vidalia Sweet Onion growing counties, contributing approximately half of the entire state crop each year. This festive day on the second Saturday of each May celebrates the harvesting of the famous Vidalia sweet onion crop, and gets bigger and better every year. 

The town of Glennville starts gearing up for "Sweet Onion" season months ahead with the Miss Georgia Sweet Onion pageant in March. When the time comes for the festival in May, the fun-filled day begins with a "Sweet Onion Run" (and walk), followed by a parade right through the downtown festival. All day long, the whole family can enjoy an array of arts and crafts, delightful entertainment at the stage, children's rides and games, and delectable food (that includes fried sweet onion rings and blooming onions). But the day's not over yet! After the festival ends, cool off for a bit, then come back that evening for the famous "Street Dance" with live music at the stage once the sun goes down. This event draws over 6,000 people most years, so bring your hat and sunscreen, maybe a chair or blanket, and your whole family to join us for the 49th annual Glennville Sweet Onion Festival!
