The Town of Talking Rock would like to sincerely thank everyone for a fantastic and successful 2022 Heritage Days Festival. This event is designed to bring the community together to celebrate our historic town and its heritage since 1883.

We are grateful and appreciative for the incredible line-up of vendors from across Georgia and our neighboring states. We are proud to recognize our patrons for helping the Town of Talking Rock raise $1000 for the Joy House and the Pickens Animal Rescue.

We would like to thank the Pickens County Sheriff’s Department and the Georgia Department of Transportation for their assistance.

The success of Heritage Days could not be achieved without the gracious Sponsors and the tireless efforts from our Volunteers.
