The Dogwood Arts Festival is an annual event in Knoxville, Tennessee; that celebrates the blooming of the dogwood trees. It includes a parade, a house and garden show, and demonstrations of various Appalachian arts and crafts such as quilting, bluegrass music, and doll-making. Many driving trails are marked in Knoxville and the surrounding area for people to view the dogwoods in bloom.
