A Festival Rooted in Community

What began in 1999 as a grassroots relief effort for families affected by the 1998 tornado has evolved into one of Dunwoody’s most anticipated annual events. Today, Lemonade Days welcomes thousands of attendees each year, offering a perfect blend of nostalgia, community spirit, and all-around fun.

Rides, Games & Nonstop Entertainment

Get ready for 20+ rides that will delight thrill-seekers and little ones alike. From classic carnival attractions to kid-friendly favorites, there’s no shortage of excitement. For the ultimate experience, grab a wristband for unlimited rides—just $20 on Wednesday Family Night or $30 from Thursday through Sunday.

Families will also enjoy:

  • Pony rides & petting zoo (Saturday & Sunday)
  • Chalk Art Station – where creativity takes center stage
  • The Lemonade Stand – a perfect photo op for festival memories
  • Meet-and-greet moments with the Honorary Lemonade Days Queen

Savor the Flavor

The festival’s food court will be packed with mouthwatering options, featuring everything from BBQ, burgers, and tacos to international flavors like Asian, Italian, and Indian cuisine. Satisfy your sweet tooth with funnel cakes, pretzels, and Italian ice, or cool off with a craft beer or glass of wine from the beer and wine garden.

Don’t Miss the 5K Race

Kick off the weekend with the Lemonade Days 5K Race on Saturday, April 26, at 8:00 AM. The course winds through the scenic trails of Brook Run Park, making it a favorite for both casual joggers and serious runners. Plus, it’s a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, making it an ideal event for local running enthusiasts.

Runners will receive a poly-blend race shirt, and awards will be presented to top finishers across multiple age groups. Be sure to register early—this race sells out quickly!

Shop, Stroll & Support Local

Browse the sponsor booths and shop from local vendors offering crafts, goods, and festival keepsakes. Plus, every sponsorship dollar goes directly to support the Dunwoody Preservation Trust’s mission of protecting and promoting the area’s rich history.
