Councilmember Linley Jones unveiled the new 2018 Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival logo and made several updates during a recent City Council meeting.
“This is the first-ever public display of our new logo for 2018. The image embraces the heritage of the first three years of the festival, yet provides a new and exciting look toward our exciting growth ahead,” said Councilmember Jones.
The 2018 Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival is the first major event of the year for the metropolitan Atlanta festival season. The event takes place March 24-25, 2018 at Blackburn Park, 3493 Ashford Dunwoody Road in Brookhaven.
In October, the Brookhaven City Council approved a contract with Splash Festivals to operate the Arts & Crafts Market and handle logistics for the 2018 Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival. Splash Festivals also manages the festivals in Dunwoody, Norcross, Johns Creek, Alpharetta and other locations. So far, Splash Festivals has registered 100 vendors for the Brookhaven event, more than triple the size of previous markets.
Musical performances for the event will be booked by Live Nation, the global leader for live entertainment, with specific acts to be announced at a later date.
Splash Festivals is also implementing a food court sitting area which provides a 360-degree view of the stage, Kidzone and dog show area. The car show will be returning on Saturday, March 24 and the 5K road race, now designated as a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, will take place on Sunday, March 25.
