One of the Southeast's most renowned live music venues, The Crimson Moon has been presenting nationally and regionally touring performing artists (as well as the best of local talent) since 2001 - and in a rare 'listening room' environment. It has recently moved its primary presenting location to The Dahlonega Market Place event space, located just one block south (and one flight of stairs up) from 'The Moon's old location. Here, the seating and stage size has expanded significantly, and the venue is much more focused on being a premier listening venue than a restaurant or bar, though still offering a wide variety of boutique snacks, locally made deserts, beer, wine, organic coffee, and a variety of sodas, teas, seltzers, juices, etc.
