Best Things to Do in Helen, Georgia
Helen, Georgia, is an old mining town and one of the most well-known Alpine villages in the United States, thanks to its location on the southern end of the Mountains of the Blue Ridge. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the small Georgia mountain hamlet (population: 582) reinvented itself as a picturesque re-creation of a classic Bavarian village, offering a taste of the Alps in the mountains of the Appalachians. Tourists flock to the area to enjoy river tubing, horse riding, canoeing, fishing, trekking, and other outdoor pursuits along the picturesque Chattahoochee River banks.

Germany In Georgia: The World’s Longest Running Oktoberfest is in Helen, GA (Yes, Really)
Erick is in for a treat at Helen, GA’s Oktoberfest and it appears he might need an outfit change. Erick learns from Helen Oktoberfest’s executive director, Renee Chacon, that the city used to be a failing lumber town and needed some help to keep it alive, which is why it is now known for its Bavarian-style building. The town now holds the world record for longest-running Oktoberfest of 48 years.

It runs from the 2nd or 3rd week of September until the last weekend or October. Many local area businesses and people participate in the 'Oktoberfest' parade.
