The annual Mayhaw Festival is held in Colquitt on the third weekend in April at the Spring Creek Recreation Park, and Mayhaw Jelly, reputed to be "the best jelly in the world," is always in abundant supply. Colquitt is famous for the mayhaw, a tart fruit from the rose family that grows in swampy areas. Boats and nets are frequently used to harvest mayhaws, which make the delicious rosy-orange jelly.
