The Dogwood Festival celebrates its 75th anniversary this April in Piedmont Park. With large crowds expected, parking your car at a MARTA station and riding to the festival is an option to avoid traffic and limited parking options.
The closest MARTA station to the Dogwood Festival is the Midtown Station located at 4110th Street. This station is on the red and gold rail lines that run north and south through the city. For the easiest park and ride experience, festival goers should park at a station on either of these rail lines. Below are the list of these stations, which all have free daily parking. Once you get on the train, merely exit at the Midtown Station and follow these easy walking directions down 10th Street to the festival.
Red and Gold
- Lindbergh Station
This station at 2424 Piedmont Avenue has three parking decks and is located off of two interstates, making it one of the best stations to park at. Both red and gold line trains stop at this station, which means twice as many trains and less of a wait. The ride to midtown is less than 10 minutes from this station as well.
