Annual Events

One of Canton’s most treasured events is First Fridays. A stage is set up along Main Street as music, dancing, and good times take over Historic Downtown Canton. Bring your chairs, eat food from local restaurants and vendors, take part in this perfect Friday night activity.

For those who love local and homegrown, join us at the Canton Farmer’s Market, open seasonally on Saturdays from 9AM-12:30PM.

Another staple event in Canton is our very own music festival, Canton River Rock! This free-to-attend annual favorite takes place at Etowah River Park and is known to feature some of the finest headlining artists.

Other must-see events include the Taste & Brews Festival, Wing & Rock Fest, and Denim Fest. If you love good ole' fashioned Southern food and the brisk taste of a cold brew, you can't miss these events!

On top of these huge events, there's plenty of other annual events that showcase the city's diverse culture and shine light on the city of Canton, like the Multicultural Fest, West Main Arts Festival, and the Riverfest Arts & Crafts Festival. Come experience the incredible energy these events have to offer!
