73rd Atlanta Dogwood Festival was a great success!The artists have packed up, vendors have moved out and the oil has cooled from cooking funnel cakes, the 73rd festival is in the history books. For the first time in 3 years the weather cooperated with the rain waiting until it was time to move out before it came down. From all reports the festival was a great success. The artists were happy and visitors seemed to be in a buying mood. At least One artist stated that his Saturday sales was the single best day he has ever had. The new layout gave the whole event a more leisurely feel that allowed patrons to linger, the Coummunity Cultural stage with all its international performers could not have been better, the comedy show was a sellout and the "Friends of Dogwood Pavilion" was an excellent addition to the offerings. The whole city was excited that we were back in Piedmont Park and it showed. To quote a volunteer, "I have never seen so many smiles, I didn't see an unhappy face all weekend". The board of directors, staff and crew would like to thank all the volunteers and others that worked so hard on this year's festival to help it run so smoothly. We thank the City officials and Piedmont Park Conservancy for helping us through all the multi-facets of advanced planning. Most of all we thank the people of Atlanta, residents of Midtown and out of town guests for turning out in large numbers to support our return home. What a great way to kick off spring in Atlanta!
