Gee’s Bend Spring Yard Show 🌸

Step into Gee’s Bend for a one-of-a-kind, community-led experience. Along County Road 29, quilts, stories, and history unfold in the yards where they were made—inviting you into a living landscape of creativity and tradition.

With no central hub, each stop offers a personal connection to the people and place that define the Bend. Move at your own pace and discover something unexpected along the way.

A suggested $25 donation supports the event. Pre-registration encouraged. https://www.geesbend.org/yard-show
