About the Event

For generations, pilau dinners have been a cherished Election Day tradition across South Georgia, bringing neighbors together over a shared meal and community fellowship.

Each Election Day, the Thomasville History Center continues this tradition with its annual Pilau Dinner, offering hearty to-go meals prepared in the classic regional style. Orders are packaged to-go, making it easy to enjoy the meal at home, with family and friends, or wherever you choose.

Each plate supports the History Center’s ongoing work to preserve the historic places, collections, and stories that define Thomasville and the Red Hills region.

Plate Includes: Pilau, Slaw, Pickles, Crackers, and Dessert – $12

This event is proudly sponsored by Thomasville National Bank.
