Make your plans for the Atlanta Dogwood Festival 2017

History of the Atlanta Dogwood Festival

The idea for the Dogwood Festival began when retail mogul Walter Rich, founder of Rich’s Department Store, sought to make Atlanta internationally known for its the beautiful dogwood trees in bloom during the Spring. Accordingly, on April 19, 1936, Atlanta invited the world to attend the first Dogwood Festival. Pageants, parades and carnivals sponsored by the Junior League, along with performances by the Metropolitan Opera, Philadelphia Symphony, and choruses from local colleges, all were featured activities for the inaugural event.

See You There!
