The Peanut Proud Festival is an annual celebration that honors the peanut industry and what it means to our community. The all-day festival creates an experience like no other, on the 4th Saturday in March on the Blakely Courthouse Square. MUSIC, FOOD, FUN, AND DANCE, bring our citizens and their families, our local businesses, our leaders and our respected peanut farmers together for a day of community spirit and celebration. The day includes free concerts the Peanut Proud Parade, a kid zone full of activities for the young goobers, a 5k Run and Fun Run for those of you that are full of energy, arts and craft vendors with one of a kind items and the much loved Street Dance to close out the night. The Peanut Proud family vine grows longer every year as it is draws thousands of not-so-local visitors and vendors. Join us as we honor the peanut and our farmers!
