Travelers from around the country and Northeast Georgians alike gathered at the Helen Festhalle on New Year’s Eve for a night of dancing and music to welcome in 2022.
The Festhalle band struck up a number of polka-fied popular tunes, from the “Chicken Dance” to the Beatles. Attendees danced along, filling the Festhalle with a huge conga line halfway through the night.
At midnight, attendees gathered outside the Festhalle to watch the dropping of the Edelweiss. Even in the pouring rain, citizens burst into cheers and celebration, making it through another year.
