Pulaski County's affair with
harness racing began in 1894. Since that time, several world champions have been trained on the
Hawkinsville tracks. The Georgia red clay and mild climate make an excellent combination for
conditioning young horses. For almost forty years, Pulaski County has celebrated its enduring bond to
harness racing with the Annual Harness Horse Festival. The festival prides itself on an outstanding
facility, community spirit, and fantastic entertainment. So follow the picturesque Ocmulgee River
right into the heart of downtown Hawkinsville, and be prepared to experience Southern small-town
living at its best.
