The Dunwoody Art Festival is a Mother’s Day Weekend tradition! It takes place along Dunwoody Village Parkway, which is a shopping district just minutes from Perimeter Mall. (The shops and restaurants in Dunwoody Village will also be open to festival-goers). Festival admission is FREE.
The art market is a highlight of the festival. Artisans from around the country showcase and sell handmade items that include paintings, folk art, photography, fiber art, metal sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, blown glass, and more.
The Kidz Zone is located behind Marlow’s Tavern, featuring inflatable bounce houses, face painting, and other activities.
There is also a food court and live entertainment on the festival stage.
Dogs are not allowed at this event.
