Historic Bell Restoration Celebration
2026-07-19 13:00 - 14:30 | First African Baptist Church, 405 Telfair Street, Dublin, GA, 31021, United States
On Sunday, July 19th at 1 PM the public is invited to witness a remarkable moment in Dublin’s history as the historic bell at First African Baptist Church rings for the first time in almost 30 years.
For generations, the bell stood as a symbol of faith, perseverance, and community. Installed in 1920, the 54-inch diameter bell was cast by the C.S. Bell Company of Hillsboro, Ohio, this Dublin, Georgia bell is the largest bell ever produced by the company and recognized as the largest production bell in the world. The bell assembly weighs approximately 3,150 pounds, with the bell itself weighing 2,060 pounds. Church members believe it likely took years to plan, cast, transport, and install the massive bell following completion of the church building.
When History Finds Its Voice
The July celebration will mark the culmination of the effort to restore the bell as it rings out once again across the community.
More than simply the restoration of a historic artifact, the event represents the power of storytelling, preservation, and partnership. It is a reminder that history is not only something to be remembered, but something that continues to inspire action in the present.
The public is invited to attend the July 19th bell-ringing celebration, and be part of this historic occasion. 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. Read the full press release HERE.
First African Baptist Church was established in 1867 and is the oldest African American church in the City of Dublin GA. The current building was built in 1914 after the original wooden church was torn down. On April 17, 1944, the Colored Elks Clubs of Georgia held their state convention at First African Baptist Church in Dublin and sponsored an essay contest. A 15 year old student at Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta delivered a speech entitled “The Negro and the Constitution.” Little did the audience realize they were witnessing the first public speech by Dr. Martin L. King, Jr., and the start of the Civil Rights Movement.

Award Winning Focus
While Kellie has become well known for documenting life around Dublin, her photography has earned recognition far beyond Laurens County. She has received numerous domestic and international awards for her wildlife and macro photography and has been recognized at the Georgia National Fair for the past four consecutive years, including earning Best Overall honors.

Behind The Lens
Known for her authentic style, Kellie specializes in capturing life as it naturally unfolds. Whether photographing a downtown festival, a quiet morning in nature, or wildlife in its habitat, she prefers genuine moments over staged scenes. That ability to tell the story of a place through photography is exactly what led Visit Dublin GA to partner with her to help showcase Dublin and Laurens County through a local photographer’s perspective.
Snapshot Of Dublin
Kellie is passionate about supporting the community she calls home. On many Saturday mornings, you’ll find her shopping the Downtown Dublin Farmers Market, supporting local growers, makers, and small businesses while connecting with friends and neighbors. Her inaugural showcase continues that commitment by highlighting several local women-owned businesses. The event will be hosted at Curate Workspace, while Mission Bake Shoppe will offer coffee, desserts, and baked treats, and Elevated Eatery serving fresh juices and light bites available for purchase throughout the evening. By attending, guests will not only experience exceptional local photography but also support several small businesses that help make Dublin special.

Spooky Treats in the Downtown Streets
2026-10-22 16:00 - 20:00 | Downtown Dublin, 314 Academy Avenue, Dublin, GA, 31021, United States
Creep into the heart of Downtown Dublin to fill your candy bags with boo-dles of treats during Spooky Treats in the Downtown Streets on Thursday, October 22nd starting at 4 PM.
Spooky Treats
Every year on a Thursday before Halloween, children young and at heart don hair raising, hilarious, and downright adorable costumes and stroll the sidewalks of Downtown Dublin GA on the hunt for sweets and swag. Find smiling, spooktacular faces of the staff of the downtown businesses greeting you from outside tables and handing treats to all the girls, ghosts, and ghouls. Even the waitstaff at the restaurants get into the Halloween spirit, dressed to the nines in simple to sensational costumes. Follow all the leash laws and bring along your fur baby in a frightfully precious fit!
Turn this jolly downtown jaunt into a sweets extravaganza by stopping into Scoops to partake in their candy wall or strolling up to the pink window behind the Fred Roberts for some Rosie’s Handmade Ice Cream.
Sweet Shopping
While the sweets and treats are stacking up, slip into the stores to find gourd-geous jewelry and clothes, boo-nique gift items, vintage goodies, and more!
Killer Bites
All that Halloween treat hunting have you building up a monsterous hunger? Before the kids stuff their faces with their sugary findings, fill their tummies with bite-sized burgers at the Minute Grill. Or take a sackful of sliders from Jack’s Hamburgers to help fuel up while your precious monsters lurk for loot. A hearty meal at Miller’s Soul Food will keep them from munching up all the treats at once. After the romp around town, grab yourself a treat from Crooked Finger Brewing, Dublin’s family friendly brewery!
Bone tired after a fang-tastic evening of trick-or-treating? Book a room at one of our fa-boo-lous hotels!
