Court Square

Blakely, Georgia

It's more than just a festival...

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, from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. 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 draws thousands of not-so-local visitors and vendors.

Activities

Fun for the whole family!

Peanut Butter Obstacle CourseBring your best obstacle course skills (and maybe an extra set of clean clothes) and compete in the Peanut Butter Obstacle Course. The course is full of peanut paste, challenges and fun! The messy fun begins at 2:00 p.m. in the KidsZone.

Kids ZoneFor our young friends, the Peanut Proud KidsZone is full of bounce houses, slides, games, rides and kid friendly shopping. There are activities for all ages and all levels of adventure and fun. There are a few activities that require a small fee, but lucky for you, most are FREE!

5K & Fun RunWake up and start the festival fun with a run in the Peanut Proud 5K or Fun Run. Whether you're fast or you barely finish, join runners and walkers of all ages as they complete the course.

Street DanceAfter a long day of festivities and a short rest, get your dancing shoes on and head back to the square for the street dance. Spend the evening with your community and friends listening to your favorite motown hits by Will and the Exclamation.
