Vidalia is in the Plantation Midlands region and could make for a decent detour on a trip between Atlanta and Savannah. This middle-sized country town is known as "the sweet onion city" and has a sweet cultivar of onion that has even become proprietary as the Vidalia onion. So proud are the town and state of this product that they have established an annual Vidalia Onion Festival and designated it the state vegetable, respectively. One other peculiarity about Vidalia is the way in which crime is sometimes handled whereby an offender may end up sentenced to so many hours of standing and holding a sign stating their crime.

Get in[edit]

Your best bet is to have your own vehicle, and the town is about 20–25 mi (32–40 km) south of I-75, along US Route 280.
