You won’t want to miss this family friendly fur flying event!
The 2019 Disc Dog Southern Nationals Qualifier tournament began at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival more than 25 years ago with only 10 competitors as a one-day event. This annual competition has grown to a two-day event and has become one of the most prestigious canine sporting events in the South. Today, it is a premier USDDN World Finals Qualifier. It’s also a festival favorite for many attendees!

It is with deep regret that we announce the cancelation of this year’s event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we had hoped to move the festival to a fall date, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone until next year. We know that you will agree with us that this is the right choice when considering public health and safety.
The good news is that we can announce dates for the 85th Atlanta Dogwood Festival, which is scheduled to take place in Piedmont Park April 9-11, 2021. We may be taking a hiatus this year, but we look forward to being back next spring to bring together the community and provide a reason to celebrate. #InThisTogether
Missing the Spring & Fall Festival fun, tunes, art & life. Stay safe, healthy & happy all ;)
This is the right call.
It is understandable during these times.. Looking forward to enjoying the festival next year.
It's a disappointment to many, but you made the right call, ....the only call you could have made. Thank you
Very responsible, thank you. See you next year.
So disappointing
