It will soon be attend the 2022 Ocmulgee Indigenous Festival. This festival has been a mainstay event for many families across the state of Georgia and many other states as well. 

Representatives from multiple Southeastern Native American tribes perform dances, give demonstrations, and present educational lectures. Several historical reproductions of the homes and housewares once used can be found near the park's museum. Multiple vendors at the event sell traditional crafts, jewelry, art, clothing, and more.
