How Does the Festival Benefit Hogansville

The Hogansville Hummingbird Festival, now in its 22nd  year, is the principal fund-raising vehicle for the Hogansville Charitable Trust, a 501(c) 3 Georgia non-profit Corporation whose stated purpose is the renovation, preservation and improvement of historic and municipal properties in and around the City of Hogansville, Georgia.

The Festival has raised approximately $500,000 for this purpose.  However, by using these dollars primarily as matching funds for Federal, State and other grants, the money has been leveraged into more than $3,200,000 in improvements for the City.

The projects have included three phases of Streetscapes and construction of the Tower Trail which includes a walking trail from Hogansville Elementary School, by the historic Water Tower, and ending on Oak Street by the City’s now retired water treatment plant, and an outdoor classroom.  In 2016, the Trust acquired the property on which the Festival has been held, razed the dilapidated house sited on it and donated the property to the City. This property has been converted to a park and is now the permanent home of the Festival.  Most recently, the Trust has provided the funds to purchase the closed PNC building for use as the City’s new City Hall.  This will allow for the rejuvenation of the Royal Theater to its 1939 splendor.
