  • Don’t Miss the Battle of Byron Festival on May 6!

    The Battle of Byron is back for the first time since 2017! The annual festival will be held on Saturday, May 6th in the historic downtown district of Byron, and admission is free.

    Just look at all the fun/weird stuff to do! The address for the general area of the festival is:
    100 W Heritage St, Byron, GA 31008

    The Battle of Byron festival started in 1979 as part of a community improvement project initiated by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and Gov. George Busbee. Since then, it has become a beloved tradition in the Peach County area, and a major fundraiser for civic and church groups. It has been on hiatus since 2017, but hopefully will take on new life in 2023 and beyond!

    The festival features all kinds of challenges to participate in if you’re so inclined, such as the Trike Race, the Fanny Race, the Bed Chase, the Greased Flagpole, the Auburn Tigers vs. the UGA Dawgs Tug-of-War, Mud Volleyball, and a Pie Eating Challenge.
