Dahlonega Becoming a Holiday Film Destination Town

Film producers and directors are falling in love with filming in Dahlonega, especially as the setting for Christmas themed movies. Small businesses such as the Dahlonega General Store cater to cast, crew, and local visitors who visit the historic downtown landmark. Venues such as the downtown square, Hancock Park, and the Dahlonega Square Hotel have become part of the community’s “holiday sell” to producers and location scouts looking to set movies during the holidays. “We’re definitely becoming a film destination now.”
