If you’ve been to this much-loved community event before, you know it’s a barrel of fun. You can pick from 30 car nival rides and see if the kids are up for a pony ride. Treat yourself to something yummy from one of the food booths, indulge your creative side browsing the arts and crafts vendors, and enjoy two days of center stage performances. Admission is free, but you can buy a daily wristband for unlimited rides: $20 a day on Wednesday and Thursday family nights; $25 a day on Friday and Saturday. Individual ride tickets are $1.25. All proceeds support the Dunwoody Preservation Trust. The festival takes place April 19-23 at Brook Run Park.
