Dogwood Dell
Located in Byrd Park, Dogwood Dell is a 2,400 seat amphitheatre owned and operated by the Department of Parks, Recreation & Community Facilities. Since 1956, it has been home to the Festival of Arts; a summer long celebration of the arts featuring art exhibits, concerts, dance and theatre - all free and open to the public. Each year the Festival of Arts offers over forty performances.
In addition to mainstage events please note the Ha'Penny stage performances that are oriented for the young and "the young at heart". The Ha' Penny stage is located behind the Carillon to the West.
Mark your calendar for the 4th of July patriotic extravaganza including music, fireworks and sounds of canons and more! This year promises to be a special one, we look forward to seeing you at our 49th Annual Festival of the Arts.
