The popular and award-winning Dunwoody Art Festival moves back to Dunwoody Village Parkway for Mother’s Day weekend. The colorful, outdoor celebration will be Saturday, May 7 from 10 am to 6 pm and Sunday, May 8 from 10 am to 5 pm.
“The businesses in the Village area always loved having the big crowds to help showcase their shops and restaurants, and we were excited to let the fun artisans and vendors return to the Parkway,” explains Cindy Flynn, Splash Festivals Co-Owner – who produces the 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 have been easy to work with and very helpful in making this transition seamless.
The Dunwoody Art Festival will wind around the picturesque street, just minutes from Perimeter Mall and behind the Dunwoody Post Office. The charming 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 cookin’ at a new “cozy” location in the middle of the show -right in front of the BAR{n}. 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! Also located in this section of the Shopping Center will be the center of the action for kids of all ages with face painting, arts & crafts, singing parrots and lots of surprises! Free parking and shuttles are conveniently located at Dunwoody City Hall at 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road.
