GA-TACF’s 2nd Annual Chestnutoberfest!

Chestnutoberfest 2025

It’s that time of year again! Chestnut harvest is just wrapping up in Georgia and our next fun event is Chestnutoberfest on October 25 at River Remedy Brewing, Rome. 1-7 pm (note the brewery’s new location). Hope you can join us to have some fun and learn about what we do and how you can get involved! We will have “Chestnutoberfest” chestnut ale, food, music by Russell Cook and Friends (of Little Country Giants), chestnut merchandise, and roasted chestnuts. Rumor has it that some chestnut seedlings may be among the “merch” being offered…

So, get crackin’ and come on out! Sign up via Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ga-tacfs-2nd-annual-chestnutoberfest-tickets-1763298335789?aff=oddtdtcreator
