The Ellijay Songwriters Festival has become one of the premier songwriter events in the southeast United States and the largest spring event in Gilmer County, Georgia. Most shows will be free and everyone is welcome.

"The festival will bring together thousands of live music fans as we celebrate the art of songwriting. Attendees will have a chance to meet and hang out with the songwriters, listen to their songs, hear the stories behind the songs, and enjoy mountain life in Ellijay", added Green.
