Dunwoody Art Festival

Description

The popular and award-winning Dunwoody Art Festival will fly onto Dunwoody Village Parkway for the annual event on Mother’s Day weekend. The colorful, outdoor celebration will be Saturday, May 10 from 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday, May 11 from 10 am to 5 pm.

“The businesses in the Village area love having the big crowds in front of their doors to help showcase their shops and restaurants, and we are excited to let the fun artisans and vendors hang out in the Parkway,” explains Cindy Flynn, Splash Festivals Co-Owner – who produces the Dunwoody Art Festival. She continues, “The Dunwoody Rotary Club will once again partner with us as our volunteer ambassadors, and they have guided the artisans to their booth locations (and unloaded their packed vehicles) since the beginning – usually in the dark!” Flynn also explains that the community from the Dunwoody Village Townhomes has been easy to work with, given their close proximity to the festivities.

Featured artisan, Josh Berkman, has allowed the Festival to use his charming painting “First Flight” as the image for all the promotional materials. This talented artist will have a booth filled with colorful and enchanting paintings of all sizes for attendees.

The Dunwoody Art Festival will wind around the picturesque street, just minutes from Perimeter Mall and behind the Dunwoody Post Office. The Parkway will showcase the wildly whimsical artist market that shoppers anticipate each spring. Artisans from around the country look forward to the large and welcoming neighbors and visitors as they exhibit their paintings, folk art, glasswork, metal art, photography, fiber, ceramics, culinary treats and so much more.

The tasty Food Court will be cooking festival cuisine in a new location – right along the Parkway (near Crossfit Dunwoody). This will be the place to go for great eats and drinks for hungry shoppers who need a relaxing break before returning to find more unique art treasures for their moms, wives, sisters, aunts or anyone special. Mother’s Day weekend is just a great time for everyone!

The Kidz Zone will be a creative hive for kids of all ages with face painting, arts & crafts – and lots of surprises.

Free parking and shuttles are conveniently located at Dunwoody City Hall at 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road.
