With the month of April quickly approaching, Dogwood Arts is gearing up to do it all again with events and programs for the entire community to enjoy,” a Dogwood Arts press release stated.
Knoxville’s historic Dogwood Trails date back to 1955, and today cover more than 90 miles in 13 neighborhoods throughout Knox County.
“The Dogwood Trails, Open Gardens and Camera Sites are open April 1 through April 30, and visitors are invited to drive, walk or bike the Trails as they take in the natural scenic beauty of East Tennessee in the springtime,” the press release futher stated.
Open Gardens and Camera Sites are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily.
A ribbon-cutting and community celebration to “officially” open the Dogwood Trails is scheduled from 5 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 4, in Talahi Park “along the Sequoyah Hills Dogwood Trail — the first trail, established in 1955,” the release stated. “The event will take place at 1034 Cherokee Boulevard and include a ribbon-cutting ceremony with City of Knoxville and Knox County officials, food vendors, music and a maker market.”
