Fire Ant Freedom

The Fire Ant Committee is excited to announce the 2026 Fire Ant Festival theme: Fire Ant Freedom.

In honor of 250 years of American Independence (1776–2026), we’re celebrating with a red, white, and blue festival weekend in Ashburn. Get ready for laughs, lively events and plenty of patriotic ANT-ics as we salute this historic milestone.

When the weekend kicks off, lace up for the 5K Liberty Dash or the Stars & Stripes 1-Mile Fun Run. Stroll through local arts and crafts vendors, enjoy classic festival food, a carnival of rides, take in live music, join in games for all ages and end the night with fireworks over the Ashburn sky.

Mark your calendars:
Friday, March 27 (evening)
Saturday, March 28 (all day)

Come celebrate 250 years of freedom and 30 years of Fire Ant Festival fun in Ashburn, GA.
