==Peanut Festival==
The Brooklet [[Peanut]] Festival is an annual [[festival]] that occurs on the third Saturday of September.

The first festival was held in 1990. It drew about 2,000 people and helped finance a town park lined with benches around a [[gazebo]] and fountain. The park was dedicated to the Town of Brooklet at the 6th Annual Peanut Festival in 1995.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.brooklet-ga.net/Festival/about.html# |title=About the Peanut Festival |last=Roebuck |first=Dot |author2=Jan Tankersley |publisher=Town of Brooklet, Georgia |accessdate=2009-03-17 |archivedate=2009-06-01 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090601075331/http://www.brooklet-ga.net/Festival/about.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Brooklet Peanut Festival consists of an annual parade, a [[beauty pageant]], a Peanut Run, booths, entertainment, and a tractor race.  Each year, the festival has grown in attendance.

The parade follows an approximately {{convert|2|mi|km|0|adj=on}} route with participation from local schools, organizations and businesses. The beauty pageant has many age groups, including 0–6 months, 7–18 months, 9–35 months, 3–4 years, 5–6 years, 7–9 years, 10–12 years, 13–15 years, 16 years and over.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://brookletpeanutfestival.com/7.html |title=Brooklet Peanut Festival - Pageant |accessdate=2009-03-17 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081024083150/http://brookletpeanutfestival.com/7.html |archivedate=2008-10-24 }}</ref> The contestant who wins in the 16 and over category is crowned Miss Peanut Queen.

The Brooklet Peanut Run is a [[5000 metres|5K]] race that used to be run around 7 am on the day of the Peanut Festival. However, when the festival changed dates to the September, the Peanut Run kept its August Date. The race begins and ends at Brooklet Elementary School. There are approximately 300 participants<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.coolrunning.com/results/08/ga/Aug16_8THANN_set1.shtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100211054927/http://coolrunning.com/results/08/ga/Aug16_8THANN_set1.shtml|archive-date=2010-02-11|title=Cool Running :: 8th 5K Peanut run Race results|access-date=2023-08-03}}</ref> in the race each year.

The festival has live, free entertainment. Performers have included the Southern Dance Academy,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://southerndanceacademy.tripod.com/|title=Index|website=southerndanceacademy.tripod.com}}</ref> [[Southeast Bulloch High School]] band, and many local bands.

The slow [[tractor]] race is an annual race where tractors race as slowly as possible. The last tractor to cross the finish line is the winner. The Kiddie Pedal Tractor race is designed for children who race a pint-sized tractor.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.statesboroherald.com/news/archive/14391/ |title=Brooklet Peanut Festival draws hundreds |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912035612/http://www.statesboroherald.com/news/archive/14391/ |archive-date=12 September 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
