Experience Cowboy Core in Cartersville GA
According to Skyscanner, “Cowboy Core” is the 2025 fashion trend that has captured the interest of 44% of American travelers. Yet, travelers don’t have to head out West to experience this trend for themselves.
Instead, they can head South to Cartersville, GA, which comes alive in October with an authentic Western experience at Booth Western Art Museum’s highly anticipated annual event, West Fest on Oct. 25.
The festival offers a day packed with vibrant activities, artistic creations and family-friendly fun.
From adrenaline-pumping reenactments, mesmerizing Native American dance performances, a jaw-dropping Birds of Prey demonstration and a show by the Atlanta Black Rodeo, West Fest honors the traditions of the West and brings the art in the Booth’s collection to life. Tickets to the festival also include access to the museum, so attendees can explore the world’s largest permanent collection of Western art in the museum’s galleries and temporary exhibits.
Beyond the festival, Cartersville is a destination full of history, outdoor recreation, and world-class museums. October is the perfect time for visitors to explore the region’s breathtaking natural beauty, from hiking at nearby Red Top Mountain State Park to enjoying a peaceful outing by Lake Allatoona, voted the best boating location in Georgia. To complement their visit to Booth, visitors can also check out the Etowah Indian Mounds, one of the largest intact Mississippian sites in the Southeast, recognized as the most important archaeological digs of its kind in the United States.
