Atlanta Dogwood Festival
The Atlanta Dogwood Festival is Atlanta's annual celebration of the blooming of its native dogwood trees. For three days each spring, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival fills midtown Atlanta's Piedmont Park with live music, arts and crafts, food booths and family-friendly activities.
A highlight of the Atlanta Dogwood Festival is the U.S. Disc Dog Southern Nationals, a world-class competition starring the top Frisbee dogs in the nation. Other attractions at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival include a children's area with face painting and rock climbing, and a Community Corner, featuring local nonprofit organizations. A juried art competition at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival recognizes artistic achievement in such categories as sculpture, painting, jewelry and photography. Musical entertainment at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival ranges from bluegrass and country to rock and soul.
More than 300,000 people attend the yearly Atlanta Dogwood Festival, which dates back to 1936.
