If you’ve been searching for excitement, wonder, the great outdoors, and delicious food, Dublin GA “may” be the perfect mid-spring spot. This May is so full of fun, funky, family-friendly events that this is only the half of it!

First Fri-May

Get the party started during First Friday at the Market on Madison on Friday, May 6th! Jam out to Strange Brew as they provide a blend of alternative rock, classic country, pop, and 60’s rock that will keep everyone in the party mood. The tunes begin at 7:30 PM and are free to the public. So, bring along your family, friends, cooler, and lawn chairs and rock out until the music stops!

Fishing May-nia

Grab your tackle box, rods, and lines and prepare for a “reel” good time at the Dublin-Laurens County Recreation Authority’s Fishing Rodeos at Southern Pines Recreational Park! Kids 12 years and under cast out on Saturday, May 7th. Adults 50 and older get their chance to catch a big one on Saturday, May 14th. Prizes will be awarded for biggest, smallest, longest, and most fish caught. Register as early as 6 AM, and fish to your hearts content starting at 7 AM both days. Participation is FREE to the public!

A Night of May-gic

Prepare to believe in magic and have your mind blown by Mark the Magic Man on Saturday, May 7th at Theatre Dublin! Have you ever seen a man hold his breath underwater for 3 minutes? Witness a master of illusion attempt this trick and more at the Family Show at 4 PM. The Magic Man not only has a few new tricks up his sleeve but a whole new show called Foresight 2.0 for ages 16 and older at 8 PM! For tickets for these shows, CLICK HERE.

Crawfish on May-nstreet

Take to the streets for good times and kickin’ food at the Bon Temps Crawfish Festival in Downtown Dublin GA! Round up the whole family on May 14th from 11 AM to 11PM for a street party jam packed with music, beer, kiddie rides, and 2000 pounds of fresh Louisiana crawfish cooked up by Rich Mascaro of Company Supply. Get your own 2 pound pile of crawfish for $20, pig out, and party on all day long!

Arilyn Erickson

*Cue Hamilton music* How does an artistic, eccentric, sister of five, and a Cajun, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in a Southeastern state by parental job prospects, end up Visit Dublin GA’s Project Manager? Fresh from graduating with her bachelor’s in psychology, Arilyn Erickson started work at Visit Dublin GA in December of 2021. Her love of helping people, knowledge of Dublin, curiosity, and creative spirit are exhibited in her ability to ensure guests are well informed and comfortable, contribute fresh ideas for improving the Visitors Center and developing tourism products, and promoting local businesses, locations, and events via our website and social media. Arilyn enjoys singing to the plants in the Visitors Center gardens (the Rosalynn Carter Pollinator Pitstop was one of her first projects), playing with traveler’s furbabies, posting aesthetic photography (especially food and unique outdoor scenes), and creating extra punny blogs.
