Have you ever wanted to feel like you are flying through the air? Have you imagined feeling the wind across your face and watching the scenery behind you disappear as you sail across the landscape below? Unfortunately, most people keep their feet on the ground and miss fulfilling the fantasy of flight.

Fall has arrived in northern Georgia, and that means that visitors are flocking to the area to celebrate Oktoberfest Helen!

Hoist a pint, join the parade and eat a brat when you head to Helen this fall. Oktoberfest in Helen is the longest-running Oktoberfest celebration in the world and starts in mid-September running through the end of October. There is nothing quite like experiencing the traditional German fall festival and celebration in Helen. What you find at the Oktoberfest in Germany is what you’ll find right here in Helen Georgia.

Northern Georgia is full of surprising little mountain towns and each one has its own unique characteristics that make it worth visiting. Near Dahlonega, GA, cabin rentals are the prime launching pad to explore this gem of a town.
