Festival Beginnings
Dublin Laurens County holds Georgia’s longest St. Patrick’s Festival every March! Dublin’s original festival kicked off in 1966, thanks to local radio personality, Dick Killebrew, who celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by playing Irish music and telling Irish stories and jokes. He felt the community should celebrate in honor of its Irish namesake, and others agreed. The first festival lasted for 11 days and included a Parade and Pancake Supper which are still celebrated today. The Festival has grown and changed over the years, and now includes six weeks of celebration. With a multitude of family friendly events, there is something for everyone!

Festival Beginnings
Dublin Laurens County holds Georgia’s longest St. Patrick’s Festival every March! Dublin’s original festival kicked off in 1966, thanks to local radio personality, Dick Killebrew, who celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by playing Irish music and telling Irish stories and jokes. He felt the community should celebrate in honor of its Irish namesake, and others agreed. The first festival lasted for 11 days and included a Parade and Pancake Supper which are still celebrated today. The Festival has grown and changed over the years, and now includes six weeks of celebration. With a multitude of family friendly events, there is something for everyone!

September 17th at 3:45 PM, join the John Laurens Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for Bells Across America, a patriotic observance celebrating Constitution Week and the enduring principles upon which the United States was founded.
Let Freedom Ring
Held at Railroad Park each year on September 17th, this annual event commemorates the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787. Communities across the nation participate in the observance by ringing bells at exactly 4 PM Eastern Time. In Dublin, attendees will gather as a bell is rung 13 times, symbolizing the original thirteen colonies and honoring the birth of our constitutional republic.
The ceremony will begin at 3:45 p.m. and feature patriotic songs performed by local schoolchildren, historical interpretations in colonial attire, and a reading of The Preamble, reflections on the importance of preserving the freedoms and responsibilities established by the Constitution.
This year’s celebration has been enhanced as part of the nationwide commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, offering an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to connect with our nation’s history while joining millions of Americans in a shared moment of remembrance and patriotism. This historic occasion is an official Georgia US250 event. Georgia’s 250th anniversary is about all of us – our stories, our history, and our culture.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a student of American government, or simply looking for a meaningful community event, Bells Across America provides a unique way to celebrate the document that continues to shape our nation more than two centuries after its signing.
