Share Your Dogwood Festival Pics with Neighbors on Patch

The 77th Dogwood Festival kicks off Friday, and it will have plenty of amazing photo opportunities.

The annual Dogwood Festival held at Piedmont Park marks the official start of spring for many Atlantans as the beautiful Dogwoods are in full bloom. The much-anticipated event kicks off Friday and lasts through Sunday.

This year marks the 77th year of the free festival, where hundreds of artists will set up their tents and approximately 200,000 people will come out for the wide array of art, the live music and delicious food.

Festival-goers will find everything from sculptures, paintings, pottery, jewelry and photography this weekend. Sara Evans will offer a concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday and kids can enjoy the Kids Village, full of giant inflatables and hands-on arts and crafts projects. You can also take the family to watch some incredible dog athletes in the Dog Village. The Disc Dog Southern Nationals tournament began at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival more than 22 years ago with only 10 competitors as a one-day event and has grown to a two-day event over the years.
