Getting Lazy Just Got Crazier, Winder!

The popular Lazy Daze Festival returns to the city later this month with a fully-loaded live entertainment schedule and exciting, all-new attractions.

As school supplies and backpacks begin filling up store shelves, foretelling the impending “back to school” season — the city of Winder wants its residents to know the lazy days of summer are far from over.

Before Barrow County students return to the hallowed halls of their schools Aug. 13, residents and visitors of Winder will be treated to an all-day last hoorah with the return of the city’s popular Lazy Daze Festival on Saturday, July 28.

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. that day, the field next to the will be filled with craft and gift vendors, food stands, kids’ activities, a rocking music stage and hundreds of festival-goers. This year’s Lazy Daze Festival boasts a jam-packed schedule of live entertainment:

Pint-sized Lazy Daze fans will also enjoy the addition of Kid Fest at the festival, which — according to the festival’s Facebook page — is slated to include inflatables, a rock climbing wall, a quad bungee jump, human hamster balls, an All Star Active tent featuring the Xbox game Just Dance 3, a kiddie train, pony rides, a petting zoo and more. Why should the kids have all the fun? Kids and adults alike will have fun taking turns on showing off their skills on the mechanical bull ride.
