Dogwood Festival returns this weekend

Atlanta party-funk crew Noot d’ Noot will perform, along with local psych-surf dudes the Jaguars, Soulphonics & Ruby Velle and the Forty-Fives

Spring done sprung, y’all, and this coming weekend will see the atlanta dogwood festival return to Piedmont Park for its 74th annual incarnation. In addition to an extensive artists’ market and loads of grub vendors (legal ones, even!), this year’s fest boasts a rather impressive music lineup: Atlanta party-funk crew Noot d’ Noot will perform, along with local psych-surf dudes The Jaguars — not to mention Soulphonics & Ruby Velle and Atlanta garage institution The Forty-Fives.

As if all this musical fun in the sun weren’t enough, tickets are on sale for the Home Grown Comedy Binge, the Friday night finale of a stand-up competition that’s been brewing for over a month at the Laughing Skull Lounge in Midtown.
