Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival March 21-22, 2026

Presented By:
The 2026 event marks 45 years of the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival in Conyers. Shop among unique art and craft exhibitors, eat your way through the multiple food courts, enjoy cultural performances, listen to live music, and play in the children's area.

The Cherry Blossom Festival originated as a way to encourage cultural understanding and friendship through international music, dance, games, food and crafts. The cherry blossom is a symbol of short-lived beauty in Japan, and the City of Conyers embraces this tradition as well. The blooming of the cherry trees offers a time to reflect upon our lives. Like the blooming of the trees, life is short, so you have to appreciate and embrace it.

The Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival has received many awards over the years for Best Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Festival and Events Association. It has also been selected over the years as a Top 20 Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society for multiple years. Most recently the festival was selected as a Signature Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Tourism Society!

HEADLINER: SMOKEY JONES & THE 3 DOLLAR PISTOLS

Smokey Jones and The 3 Dollar Pistols are not your average country band. They are swash buckling, bull riding, honky tonk legends in the making.

The band has toured relentlessly for 8 years and opened for many country music stars like Brooks and Dunn, Nitty Gritty Dirtband, Atlanta Rythm Section, Dailey and Vincent and more. The Jones boys pay an honest tribute to classic country and honky tonk music. It’s about the show, it’s about the experience. It’s about being entertained through country music with a twinge of comedy.

One of the few bands left with pedal steel and twangy guitars, they will take you on a ride through decades of country sounds. Two stepping, line dancing, cowgirl twirling country music is this band's specialty, a show not to be missed.

Catch Smokey Jones live as they headline the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival on the Main Stage on Sunday, March 23 from 3pm-5pm! Check out their music on all streaming platforms or visit https://www.smokeyjonesband.com/.

Treasures in the Trees

1 of 4

Throughout the month of March, be on the lookout for paper "blossoms" along the trees, bushes and other structures along the trails while hiking any areas of the Big Haynes Creek Nature Center, located at the Georgia International Horse Park, as well as in Olde Town Conyers. These "blossoms" will be hiding each week with the goal to have various visitors find them to trade them in for a handcrafted nature-inspired keepsake created by some of our the festival’s featured artists.

Visitors who find a "blossom" should take a selfie with it and tag Big Haynes Creek Nature Center with #BHCNC or #oldetownconyers, #Springiton, and #TreastruesintheTrees. They are also welcome to stop into the Administration Office at the Georgia International Horse Park (located just across the road from Big Haynes Creek Nature Center) to get a free parking pass to the festival. Treasure finders can then bring the petal to the Information Booth at the Conyers Cherry Blossom Festival on March 21 or 22 to collect their beautiful festival keepsake. So, look up, look down, look all around...and find treasures that await!
