Support the Local Community
The goal of the Brooklet Peanut Festival is to bring awareness and appreciation to the agricultural community, including local farmers, and recognize how important the peanut is to Georgia’s farming system. The event is organized by the Brooklet Community Development Association, which is entirely made up of volunteers. All revenue from the festival goes towards funding projects in Downtown Brooklet to keep the community flourishing. So, support your local farmers and community by attending the fun and free event!
