🎶 Why You’ll Love Summer in Downtown Monroe, Georgia (Especially First Fridays!)

As a real estate agent who covers all corners of Georgia, I get to explore some truly special communities, and one of my favorite historic downtown areas to visit during the summer months is Monroe, Georgia. Nestled in Walton County, Monroe has done an incredible job of keeping its small town, historic charm while offering residents and visitors a vibrant calendar of summer events. If you’re looking for small-town warmth, big energy, and a strong sense of community, Monroe, Georgia, is a must-visit! 



Whether a day spent antiquing along Monroe's main street or just enjoying the city's art, be sure to catch all that Monroe has to offer. Stop by the Thirsty Moose for a cold beer and meet the owners and hear their amazing story, or head on over to the Brown Fig for some "tasties and todies".



Monroe's Summer Highlights

First Friday Concerts 🎤

Every first Friday of the month, the city hosts a Free Outdoor Concert on the historic downtown green, and the atmosphere is electric. Local families, food vendors, and music lovers gather for an evening filled with great tunes and good company. Here’s a peek at some of the 2025 First Friday lineup:

• June 6 – Fly Betty Band (High-energy crowd favorites)

• August 1 – Boys in the Band (Alabama tribute)

• September 5 – Swingin’ Medallions (Classic beach vibes)

Concerts kick off at 7 PM, but the streets come alive as early as 5:30 PM when vendors open. Whether you're bringing a lawn chair or reserving a table, it’s an event that brings out the best of Monroe’s charm and hospitality.

         

Monroe doesn’t stop at music. The downtown district is busy all summer long with events that celebrate community and local businesses. Some highlights include:

Crepe Myrtle Festival

• June 14 - A colorful celebration with local artisans, food trucks, and live music is the Crepe Myrtle Festival. It’s the perfect day trip event for families or anyone exploring new towns to call home.
