Dogwood Trails to open April 1 kicking off spring celebration

What started as a neighborhood beautification project, has blossomed into a year-round celebration of the region’s art, culture and natural beauty.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — It's time to follow the pink lines! Dogwood Arts is gearing up to blossom into the spring season with a celebration.

Knoxville's historic Dogwood Trails, which date back to 1955, cover more than 90 miles in 13 neighborhoods throughout the city. The Dogwood Trails, open gardens and camera sites are open from April 1 to April 30. Visitors are invited to drive, walk or bike the trails.
