It’s a common occurrence known to every Southerner worth their salt… feeling like Country Come to Town. This brand new helping of Georgia’s Official Folk Life Play will feature a new set of stories we ain’t told yet about nature and mayhaws, sweet tea and farming, honey suckle vines and a little baseball, too! Country Come to Town will tell those “fish out of water stories” that you can’t help but laugh at. That’s right! A completely different Swamp Gravy than in March that explores life among the gnats, peanut fields, and sunshine of Southwest Georgia.
Tickets $22 for Individuals and $20 for Groups of 20 or More.
The Arts Council is thrilled about the creation of the Whatchamacallit Folk Art Festival on October 10, 2026 from 10am to 5pm behind Cotton Hall.
The grassy area located directly across the street from the Agricultural ICON Mural will transform into a hub of American Folk Art. The festival will be a celebration with live music, art, and artist demonstrations.
Cotton Hall would be available for restroom usage as well as for a nice cool stopover for two performances of Swamp Gravy Country Come to Town.
Booths will be available for folk artists who have an authentic and specific point-of-view with influences of Outsider art, folk art, or folk handicrafts: painting, pottery, sculpture, broom making, handcrafted wood items.
The Birdsong Conference Center will be available as a rainy day location.

When Buddy mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts, he is transported to the North Pole.

Buddy must journey to New York City to find his birth father and get him off the naughty list… spreading Christmas cheer while he’s at it.
