Newnan Coweta Chamber of Commerce

What is Powers' Festival?

Every year on Labor Day Weekend, Coweta plays host to one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious festivals—the Powers’ Festival. Founded in 1971 by local artist Tom Powers, who envisioned this annual gathering of artists and craftspeople at his boyhood home—the historic Powers Plantation, today’s festival is managed by Coweta Festivals, a non profit group made up of five community organizations (Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce, Coweta 4-H, Newnan Jaycees, Pilot Club, and Newnan Art Association. Proceeds from each year’s event are returned to the community through a variety of projects.

What makes Powers' Festival unique?

This nationally recognized event is well known for presenting handmade works of outstanding artists and craftspeople from all over the United States along with musical entertainment and scrumptious food. Revisit the Powers tradition for the 41st Anniversary and see the best of arts and crafts, and meander the paths of the beautifully wooded festival grounds.

We’re looking for volunteers who like to have FUN while experiencing one of Coweta County’s oldest traditions. Sign up with co-workers, friends, family or as a group!

Complimentary entrance to the Festival for all Volunteers!
As one of the Festival’s five owners, the Chamber plays an integral role in the success of this event. We are responsible for selling tickets at the Powers’ front gate and rely on the support and generosity of Chamber members and the Community.
