Photo Booth Fun at the Hiawassee Highlands Wine Festival 🍷
Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds | Towns County, GA
There’s nothing quite like a spring day in North Georgia—mountain air, live music, and a glass of wine in hand. The Hiawassee Highlands Wine Festival at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds delivered all of that and more… and Snap Happy Booth brought the FUN.
A Perfect North Georgia Festival Setting
Set against the backdrop of Lake Chatuge and the blooming Hamilton Rhododendron Gardens, this festival is one of the standout events in Towns County. Guests enjoyed tastings from over 30 regional wineries, multiple stages of live music, food trucks, and local artisans—all the ingredients for a memorable day.
And right in the middle of it all? A photo booth that kept people laughing all day long.
Custom Props = Instant Crowd Magnet
For this event, I created custom oversized props designed specifically for the wine festival vibe:
A giant watercolor-style wine glass
An oversized rosé bottle (a crowd favorite 🍷)
Fun, playful accessories that matched the relaxed, social energy of the event
These weren’t your typical props—they were conversation starters. People didn’t just take photos… they interacted, laughed, and pulled friends (and strangers!) into the frame.
Why a Photo Booth Works So Well at Festivals
Festivals like this are all about experience—and that’s exactly what a photo booth adds.
Breaks the ice between groups
Creates shareable moments (hello, social media!)
Gives guests a keepsake from the day
Adds interactive entertainment beyond music and food
At a large, open event like this, the booth becomes a destination within the festival—a place people return to throughout the day.
The Energy: Fun, Social, and Just a Little Bit Silly
From couples to groups of friends to spontaneous “jump-in” photos, the energy was exactly what you want at a festival—lighthearted, social, and full of laughter.
And honestly? That’s the magic.
People may come for the wine—but they remember how much fun they had.
Coming Back for More: Mimosa Festival 🍊🥂
I’m excited to be returning to the same venue later this year for the Mimosa Festival—and you can bet we’ll be bringing a fresh set of themed props and experiences to match the vibe.
(Think: bright, brunchy, bubbly fun.)
