Time is running out for one of Atlanta’s most beloved traditions. Organizers of the Atlanta Dogwood Festival say they must raise $250,000 by Nov. 1 to keep the event alive.
The festival, which is scheduled to celebrate its 90th anniversary in 2026, may not reach that milestone if financial goals aren’t met. Organizers launched an emergency fundraising campaign earlier this month.
According to the festival’s online donation tracker, just over $44,000 has been raised so far — about 20% of the total needed. With only weeks left before the deadline, supporters are urging the community to contribute to save the long-running spring celebration in Piedmont Park.
The Dogwood Festival is one of Atlanta’s oldest cultural events, drawing crowds with art, music, food, and family-friendly activities for generations. Without new funding, next spring’s festival could be canceled.
