Arts & Entertainment

Winder-Barrow Community Theatre.

From side to side and top to bottom, the arts thrive in Barrow County. Less than a block from Winder's downtown business district, in a newly renovated former clothing manufacturing plant, sits the literal centerpiece of the arts in Barrow County. The Winder Cultural Arts Center, home of the Colleen O. Williams Theater, hosts over 200 musical, theatrical and literary events each year. Coupled with annual Spring and Fall Festivals, the "Lazy Daze at the Trax" Music Festival, and the rebirth of the Georgia Piedmont Arts Center in their new home at Midland Station, this puts downtown Winder as the focal point of cultural expression and appreciation in the county.

Not to be outdone, the surrounding communities each do their part with annual festivals. On every "must do" list is attendance at Statham's Sunflower Festival, Hoschton's Scarecrow Festival, Auburn Fest, Bethlehem's Star Festival, or the regular events at Chateau Elan in Braselton. A fine place to live, grow and enjoy life, Barrow County takes pride in its role as a center for the arts. There is always plenty to do in the County and we'd love to have you join in all the festivities.
