Atlanta Dogwood Festival

April 16-18, all day
Piedmont Park

This weekend, Atlanta celebrates 74 years of blossoming trees, tasty cuisines and whimsical creations. Join your neighbors and friends for an unforgettable three days at the Annual Atlanta Dogwood Festival! A delightful blend of tradition and innovation, the festival winds throughout the park's lush lawns and casually elegant trees. While showcasing the finest local artisans, food vendors and performers, this year's events also include a few intriguing additions.

In addition to the many vendors scattered throughout the park, a few local restaurants are extending the celebration to your tabletop. For the entire week (April 12-18), 13 of your favorite eateries are offering $25 menu specials and deliciously discounted drinks! Enjoy pub fare with an urban flair at The Nook, Gordon Biersch, TAP and Cypress Street. Glam up your night with a global infusion meal from Spice Market, Lupe, Steel and Ra. Grab a quick and healthy snack from Rising Roll and Evos. Can't quite decide what you're in the mood for? The eclectic menus of Livingston, Straits and WaterHaven are sure to please.

Upon entering the festival, you'll step directly into the Artists' Market. Walking through the park, you can catch glimpses of the country's most creative imaginations. From more than 250 vendors tons of crafts, fine art and modern pieces are available for purchase.

Finally, the festival is proud to present three new villages: the Kids Village, International Village and the Eco-Village. Perfect for the young (and young at heart), the Kids Village offers hands-on activities and challenges to spark creative minds, while live performances set a groovy backbeat. Enjoy mobile art and global culture exchanges in the International Village. The Eco-Village offers a Discovery Center, focusing on sustainable practice education, while LED lights and bio-diesel powers the entire festival!

Open from morning to night, the Atlanta Dogwood Festival is a great place to catch a little Spring fever. Since it's easily accessible from MARTA, there's just no excuse to miss this weekend of sunshine, sustainability and creativity!
