FREE EVENT!
Brookhaven is located just over the northern edge of Atlanta and tucked inside the Perimeter, about 10 minutes south of 285 via 400 or 141.
There is NO FESTIVAL PARKING in the immediate area of Blackburn Park. All local lots and side streets will be posted and vehicles will be subject to towing to alleviate congestion for local residents. No parking will be available at Marist or Montgomery Elementary School. All local festival attendees should refrain from using residential and retail parking areas in the Blackburn Park and Murphey Candler areas. All are welcome but local parking regulations will be strictly enforced.
The best way to get to the Cherry Blossom Festival is to arrive via MARTA on the Gold Line or park at the Brookhaven/Oglethorpe station. A round trip fare is $6 total with the purchase of a MARTA ticket. This is your fastest, easiest, and most headache free way to attend the free festival. Free shuttles will be available from the MARTA lot to Blackburn Park. Shuttle lines are expected to be long after festival end each day- please be patient at these times or utilize ride share.
