The Dogwood Festival is a two week long series of event that celebrates the arrival of spring in Charlottesville. The 2009 festival is the 60th anniversary of the event. The centerpiece of the festival is a carnival held in McIntire Park.

Temporary location for 2010?

In 2010, the carnival may be located at a site yet to be determined[1]. Acting City Parks Director Brian Daly said that will need to be the case if the planned YMCA is under construction by April[2]. YMCA Chair Kurt Krueger told the Hook newspaper that he was certain the festival could continue in the park when construction begins.
