8th Annual Dahlia Festival

Date
September 8, 2017 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Description

Highlands Civic Center
In September of 2011 the Historical Society staged its first Dahlia Festival. This fundraiser has evolved into a very popular annual event, where amateur and professional dahlia enthusiasts compete on an equal basis to celebrate the beauty and enjoyment of these gorgeous flowers that grow so well in our beautiful mountains.

All dahlia aficionados are urged to join in the competition. Prizes will be presented in multiple categories. Don’t be concerned; this is not a serious competition. Come and bring your blooms to share with other dahlia lovers.
