Donations

Did you know the Atlanta Dogwood Festival is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization? Please consider donating to the festival today. With the changes necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the cost to produce this event has increased by 30%-$40%. The event is still free to visitors, however it will take attendee support, in any amount, to maintain this annual springtime tradition. The festival is requesting a $5 donation at the door, or you may choose to make an online donation at www.Dogwood.org. Thank you!

There is a lot you can do at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, but you can’t smoke. The City of Atlanta ban on smoking at outdoor facilities includes Piedmont Park.

One more rule, and then on to the fun — NO outside food or beverages may be brought into Piedmont Park during the festival. Small chairs are allowed. No tents or coolers are allowed.
