The 87th Dogwood Festival - Greenfield Hill Church

Our church’s Dogwood Festival originated in 1936, when the women of the church began selling refreshments and handmade craft items to visitors who came to the area each spring to view the beautiful Dogwood trees. Their purpose was to raise money for women and children’s charities. Today, the Dogwood Festival continues to be run by church volunteers, and the tradition of giving all profits to charity also continues. The Dogwood Festival of today includes music, food, children’s activities – and the 60+ arts and crafts vendors at the heart of the event.
