Memorial Day weekend for over 49 years, Ringgold - a small town in north Georgia - puts on a street festival that brings over 20,000 people to a town of about 3,500.  Just a few minutes south of Chattanooga on I-75, this two-day event takes place Friday evening 5:30 PM to 10PM and all day Saturday 9AM to 10PM in historic downtown Ringgold, GA.  Visitors will enjoy food, arts, and crafts vendors, live music on multiple stages, a parade, classic car show, a fireworks display Saturday night and much more.  Admission is FREE and all events are family friendly. 

The first 1890 Days Jamboree began in 1975. It was originated by two women from Ringgold, Georgia: Betty Land, a dress shop owner, and Juanita Caldwell, a newspaperwoman. Inspired by Gold Rush Days Festival in Dahlonega, Georgia, they sought to establish a similar event in the Ringgold community. They set the event apart and added flair to the event by having participants dress in 1890s era attire. The Jamboree has been a mainstay in Ringgold ever since!







1890 Days could not be made possible without the generous support of our sponsors.  We would like to thank them for their continued support of the 1890 Days Jamboree!
