Dunwoody's favorite summer festival is back, and we have butterflies just thinking about it. The 26th Annual Butterfly Festival will make its way to the Dunwoody Nature Center on Saturday, August 17, and if you call yourself a nature lover, then you will too. Not only will you have the chance to hand feed butterflies, but you'll also get to see birds, lizards, and who knows what else! Come rain, come shine, come to Dunwoody for this fun family festival just outside Atlanta.

So, Dad ran over the sprinkler and last year's lemonade stand is now a successful Airbnb for raccoons. As we love to say in Dunwoody: Everything Will Be OK! There are still plenty of fun activities your family can enjoy without succumbing to a summer of Caillou reruns. Read on for the best ways to make the most of your summer in Dunwoody.

It's that wafting smell of something coming from the grill. Follow your nose to Dunwoody where the barbecue and burgers are so delightful and delicious, we devoted an entire blog to it. 

Every June, there's one week in Dunwoody that is bigger, better, and tastier than the others. It's a week where foodies and the fiscally responsible rejoice in unison. It's a week where more than 20 restaurants offer their best dishes for the best discounts. It's the 8th Annual Dunwoody Restaurant Week and it returns June 8-15! There will be lots of options, but not a lot of time, so we've taken the liberty of breaking things down for you. Here's what you can expect:

Everyone knows the quickest way to the heart of a man is through his stomach. Everyone also knows that major cities like Atlanta are a nightmare during holidays. Your best bet is to travel outside Atlanta, for about 10 miles, into the city of Dunwoody. We have food, and we especially have fun. 

Tis summer aka the season of family travel. While you look for an abundance of things to do with the
