The annual Habersham County E-911 Children’s Fun Festival is set to return this fall. The 2025 Fun Fest will take place on Thursday, October 23, from 5 – 8 p.m. at the Habersham County Fairgrounds, located at 4235 Toccoa Highway in Clarkesville.
The event, hosted by Habersham County Central Communications, is free and open to the public. It brings together first responders, public safety professionals, local businesses, and families for a night designed to foster stronger community relationships.
Festivalgoers can expect games, booths, candy, safety demonstrations, and more. Organizations and businesses are encouraged to participate by setting up decorated booths, each of which will be automatically entered into the event’s annual booth decorating contest. The winner earning bragging rights and a feature on the Habersham County E-911 Facebook page.
In addition to the festivities, the county is once again offering limited-edition T-shirts to commemorate the event. Shirts will be available for sale starting August 1 and can be picked up on October 1—just in time to wear them to Fun Fest. Proceeds from the shirt sales will benefit the Habersham County Paramedicine Program, a life-saving service for residents across the county. Last year’s shirt campaign raised over $2,600 for the cause.
Local businesses can support the event by becoming T-shirt sponsors. Four sponsorship levels are available:
- Bronze ($50) – Logo printed on the back of the shirt
- Silver ($100) – Same as Bronze plus two free shirts
- Gold ($200) – Larger logo plus two free shirts
- Platinum ($500) – Exclusive top-tier sponsorship with the largest logo, inclusion on flyers and social media promotions, and two free shirts (limited to two sponsors)
T-shirt sponsorship is first come, first served. All logos must be submitted in .jpeg or .png format.
