What is confirmed
- The visitors bureau says horse-drawn carriage rides run downtown at night starting on Black Friday after the Lighting of the Square. Discover Dahlonega (visitors bureau)

What is not
We could not find a current operator page with 2026 prices, hours, a pick-up point or a booking link. Older fares are still online from years ago. We have left them out on purpose, because an old price is worse than no price.
How to plan around it
- Ask at the Visitors Center on the square when you arrive. They will know that night’s arrangements.
- Rides run after dark, so pair one with dinner. Our one-evening plan leaves room for it.
- Dress for standing still in the cold. December nights sit around freezing.
