Olde Town Conyers: A Hub of Heritage and Happenings |
Experience the Vibrant Blend of History and Modern Attractions in Conyers' Historic District |
Olde Town Conyers stands as a testament to the rich history and dynamic present of Conyers, Georgia.
Established in the mid-19th century, this historic district has evolved into a vibrant center for community events, unique businesses, and cultural experiences.
One of the most anticipated events is the 45th Annual Olde Town Fall Festival, scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This festival, the oldest in Rockdale County, features over 100 vendors offering arts, crafts, and delectable food options.
Attendees can enjoy live entertainment, children's activities, and the popular Children's Business Fair at the Randal S. Mills City Center Park.
Admission and parking are free, making it a must-visit event for families and visitors alike.
Adding to the district's allure is the upcoming B-Side the Tracks Brewing Co., set to open in early 2025.
Located at 909 Commercial Street NE, this two-story establishment will offer a variety of house beers, seasonal brews, hard seltzers, and craft cocktails.
The menu will feature artisan pizzas, cheeseburgers, and weekend brunch options, all crafted to provide a welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of the classic "Cheers" bar.
In recent developments, the historic building at 969 South Main Street, formerly home to the Rockdale Citizen newspaper, has been sold to Reprah Enterprise LLC.
The new owners plan to transform the space into a Community Access Group program, offering learning and personal development opportunities for special needs adults.
This initiative underscores the community's commitment to inclusivity and support for all residents.
Olde Town Conyers continues to thrive as a hub of activity, blending its rich history with modern attractions and community-focused initiatives.
Whether you're a longtime resident or a first-time visitor, there's always something new to discover in this charming district. |
