Spring is springing here in Hogansville, and it won't be long until our fine feathered friends are buzzing their way back to "The City of Friendly People". We're getting ready for the 13th annual Hogansville Hummingbird Festival, two days of old fashioned family fun. Our Main Street will be bustling with food, crafts, antiques, music, local artists, open storefronts, and activities for the whole family. Get your calendars out and start planning, we're hoping you can visit us in 2010!

Where does the money go? To beautify and improve the hometown we love! Fun is fun, but it is important to remember that over the last 12 years, the Hummingbird Festival has donated over $100,000 to the City of Hogansville for downtown redevelopment. These funds are matched with state and federal grants to improve the downtown environment. In 2010, the city begins work on Phase One of the water tower walking trail. The Tower Trail begins at the water plant on Oak Street, winds up the hill, circles the old water tower, and ends near the tennis courts at Hogansville Elementary School. In addition, a portion of every festival's proceeds goes to a designated charity. This year's beneficiary is The Boys & Girls Club of Hogansville.
