PRESS RELEASE: Georgia Trauma Foundation Brings MidState Festival to Dublin: A Family Celebration of Music, Makers, and Life-Saving Training

DUBLIN, Ga. The Georgia Trauma Foundation will host the MidState Festival on Saturday, November 7, 2026, beginning at 1:00 PM at Southern Pines Regional Park in Dublin. The free, family-friendly festival celebrates the cultural traditions that define Middle Georgia while delivering hands-on safety education to families and raising funds to train the paramedics, EMTs, and trauma nurses who serve the communities that aid the middle Georgia community.

For families, children and adults can get up close with real safety equipment from EMS and fire professionals and not just watch from a distance. The event will also feature select food trucks, vendor booths with local artisans, live music from a regional artist, cook off competitions, a 50/50 raffle, and more.

All proceeds from vendor fees and sponsorships go directly toward continuing education and training for the paramedics, EMTs, and trauma nurses serving Middle Georgia’s 23 counties.

Vendor booths are $100, and sponsorship opportunities range from $500 to $5,000.
