Dunwoody Preservation Trust is pleased to announce that nationally renowned Cousins Maine Lobster, featured on Shark Tank and Good Morning America, will be making its first appearance at this year’s annual Lemonade Days Festival at Brook Run Park.
Cousins Maine Lobster, founded in 2012, has only recently entered the Atlanta market. Known for bringing the flavor of authentic Maine seafood to other parts of the country, Cousins is “excited to bring the rich flavor of Maine lobster to the city synonymous with comfort food,” according to the company’s website.
Cousins’ food truck menu for Lemonade Days will include its signature Maine Lobster Roll, consisting of Maine lobster served chilled with “a touch of mayo” on a New England-style roll, and Connecticut Roll, consisting of Maine lobster served warm with butter and lemon also on a New England-style roll. Other items will include Lobster Tacos, Maine Lobster Tail and Lobster Tots, as well as other popular New England seafood items.
Cousins Maine Lobster will be joined by another first-time Lemonade Days food vendor, the Mini Donut Trolley, as well as return favorites including Country Cabin.
This year’s festival will feature more than 30 exciting full-scale carnival rides, more than 20 fabulous food-and-beverage vendors, a 5K run, a Country Store, multiple craft vendors, ponies, a petting zoo, three days of center-stage performances with live music and its now-famous Dunwoody Idol contest.
Bigger than ever, the festival will also feature exciting new attractions including the Nemesis 360, the latest and greatest ride offered by Peachtree Carnival Rides. The Nemesis 360 offers riders the thrill of substantial hang-time at its 80-foot top, with an impressive amount of G-force at the bottom.
The Lemonade Days Festival is the Dunwoody Preservation Trust’s major fundraiser, with the profits going to the rehabilitation and maintenance of the historic 1870 Donaldson-Bannister House and Gardens – an historic restoration partnership of the City of Dunwoody, DPT and the community. This year also marks the official opening of the Donaldson-Bannister House as a public special-event and educational facility.

Wed., April 18, 4pm-10pm
Thurs., April 19, 4pm-10pm
