The Gallia Economic Development Association is dedicated to making sure that the minority Gallia County residents voices are heard in the economic development arena on a local, regional, and state level. The Gallia County Emancipation Celebration is held on the third Saturday and Sunday of September. The event is held at the Gallia Count Fairgrounds which is located across the road from Holzer Medical Center. The two day celebration has a variety of things for young and old, including ethnic arts and crafts, gospel music, speeches, vendors and more. The event is open to the public.
Admission is free.
