Vidalia Onion Festival Sweetens Your Weekend

The Dish 

Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of festivals going on this weekend. But how many of them celebrate our state vegetable? Only one! Head down to the 35th Annual Vidalia Onion Festival for some good, old-fashioned festival fun in Vidalia. The Food Network's been there - now it's your turn. Count more activities on the schedule than onions in a bushel bag including a carnival (buy unlimited-ride wristband), parade, Civil War re-enactment, Strait Jacket Monster Truck rides, car and motorcycle shows, kazoo band, bike stunts, chainsaw carvers, cornhole tournament and more. Off-site events include a "Movie Under the Stars," rodeo, a gospel sing, onion sales and Sweet Onion Antique Fair, Vidalia Onion Run, arts and craft show, recipe contest and still more. Sweet!
