Did you know that there is a tiny rural community in Georgia named after your favorite onion? Enjoy the simple life when you visit Vidalia, known as the Sweet Onion City. Some even refer to it as the Sweet Onion Capital of the World. Let’s see what Vidalia is all about as we walk down its quintessential Main Street.
Vidalia is approximately a 2.5-hour drive from Atlanta, or 1.5 hours from Savannah. Visiting downtown Vidalia is a little like stepping back in time.
No visit to Vidalia is complete without a stop at the popular Vidalia Onion Museum – on Sweet Onion Drive no less. It offers a children's area and, though small, is jam-packed with interesting and eye-catching memorabilia.
Then on a warm summer day, head to the Vidalia Aquatics Center, complete with a little kiddie water park and splash pad. Or drop by the Ronnie A. Dixon City Park, especially on the 4th of July.
McLain Farms is growing, packing, and shipping Vidalia onions - in Vidalia, Georgia.
The four-day annual festival usually takes place in April. Enjoy concerts, fireworks, food, carnival rides, and more.
Explore this tiny rural community in Georgia to your heart’s content. Peel back the layers (of the onion) to discover the true flavor of Vidalia. I think we would all like to find a way to simplify our lives from time to time – experience this in Vidalia.
