Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival
There is no question about it, I am a big festival person. I love going to festivals and I especially love taking my family. Festivals are a great way to see what the city has to offer while getting some exercise and spending time outside. If you’re anything like me, finding family-friendly activities that don’t break the bank is tough on the weekend. Next weekend we are heading to a local festival here in Atlanta and I absolutely cannot wait. The Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival will be held March 25-26, 2017.
This past weekend, my youngest daughter and I attended the Brookhaven Georgia Cherry Blossom Festival which is very close to our home. This is the park that we go to a lot and my son even had his 7th birthday party there. Blackburn Park off of Ashford Dunwoody Road in the Perimeter area is the perfect sized park for this festival.

Our Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival Experience
With over 15,000 attendees, this festival offered fun activities for the whole family, including a Children’s Village, Classic Car Show, Arts & Crafts Marketplace, Musical Performances, and Pet World!
Food Trucks
There were plenty of food trucks and beverage options available. Of course, we had to try the pickles among other things.
Children's Village
The Children’s Village village did not disappoint. Kids could get face painting, jump in bounce houses, play games and so more. We opted for the $10 wrist band which meant unlimited bouncy houses.
Artist Market
The festival had a nice little artists market with locals peddling their wares. It was fun to walk around and look at everything. We did make a few purchases.

Classic Car Show
The Classic Car Show showcased some of the coolest cars around. Hot rods, oldies, and some pretty amazing restores were on display for everyone to see.
Pet World
Pet World was the perfect place to bring our sweet dog, Taffy. She could chase a lure to get some exercise, get hydrated at the water stations, and get some delicious gourmet dog biscuits.
Music
With lots of musical performances during the day, there was no shortage of tunes to sing along to and we discovered a few artists that are new to us.

That sounds so cool. I love cherry blossoms – they are a sign of warm weather coming.
I would love to go to that festival. It looks absolutely beautiful! Cherry blossoms are my favorite blooms in nature.
That sounds like it would be a heck of a time to go to the festival with the family. Festivals always have great entertainment and food, and those blossoms are beautiful.
I love that the event is family AND pet friendly. I would love to attend however, we live way too far. Cherry blossoms are so pretty! Maybe next year, we can plan a vacation in Atlanta right around this time to witness the Cherry Blossom Festival.
I’m a big fan of the blossoms and festivals too! We have seen them in DC, I didn’t know they were in GA as well. Awesome!
Looks and sounds like a super fun festival to attend! I wish I could go and take my whole family!
I really enjoy attending festivals and events like this with my family. This sounds like a lot of fun.
This looks like a great event for the entire family. I totally love cherry blossoms but had no idea they grew in Atlanta!
I have never seen cherry blossom in real life. I think they are gorgeous though and I would love to see them. A festival like this sounds wonderful!
I just love cherry blossoms. They are just so beautiful.

We have seen Cherry Blossom Festival once and we can’t wait to see it again! SO gorgeous! One of my favorite festivals! 😀
We have a Cherry Blossom Days in my community! If I lived closer, I would definitely come. It makes for a very delightful day!
I love cherry blossoms! I bet that will be gorgeous and a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing.
I wish I lived in a state with the four seasons! These are so beautiful. I had the opportunity to see Washington DC.
I live a few miles from the cherry blossoms in DC. I love getting to see them. I hear they weren’t ruined by the weather this year.
What a great event! I wish I lived closer! Cherry Blossoms are my favorite!
My daughter lives just a few miles from Blackburn Park. She loves the Cherry Blossom Festival.
