Yellow Daisy Festival

The Yellow Daisy Festival is a tribute to a rare flower, the yellow daisy, that blooms on Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia. They were discovered in 1846 by missionary Thomas Porter, who sent a specimen to noted botanist Asa Gray for identification. The only other place in the United States the yellow daisy has been identified is California, but there the plant is larger and woodier. The festival, held since 1969 at Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park, offers tours to view the daisy and much more: one of the South’s largest arts and crafts shows, live music, and children’s activities.
