TASTE, SEE, and EXPERIENCE southern hospitality in Douglas, as you discover all our local sights and sounds.
Each year, on the second weekend in September, downtown Douglas transforms into an outdoor festival go-er’s delight during the Gopher Tortoise Festival. The festival features several aspects for anyone to enjoy! Friday & Saturday night concert, general outdoor vendors, food vendors, hands-on experiences, live demonstrations, and MORE!
We are known for “good eatin’!” , so be sure to TASTE Douglas as you grab a bite! We have special, one of a kind restaurants where locals gather over Tomato Pie or Canivore pizza. Looking for a little spice? For authentic Mexican food, head to the small, family owned Mexican restaurant with the festive red roof or you can let your lips smack on some great BBQ at one our drive-by BBQ joints. Have a sweet-tooth? Try some homemade sweets at Holt’s Bakery or find farm fresh strawberries and other produce at our “you pick” farms or the corner Farmer’s Market.
SEE nature’s beauty with family and friends at Broxton Rocks Preserve or General Coffee State Park. A hiker’s dream, the Broxton Rocks is a hidden natural wonder in Georgia and features a waterfall and plant life that few have seen. Special occasions such as Easter Open House or scheduled tours are offered by the Nature Conservancy of Georgia. The state park offers a flashback to pioneer times complete with log cabins, old farming equipment, and farm animals for children to enjoy. Camping, hiking, and canoeing is must during your stay at the park.
EXPERIENCE the outdoors at our public golf courses or take a hunting trip at a nearby plantation. Catch up on the area’s history and special exhibits at the only surviving G&F railroad depot, Heritage Station Museum. Take a flight back in time while at the most intact WWII Flight Training Airbase. The WWII Flight Training Museum is located on the airbase and is filled with memorabillia from cadets who trained in Douglas and other WWII artifacts. Go shopping for antiques and unique finds in downtown Douglas.
Whatever brings you to Douglas, you won’t be disappointed!
