Oak Ridge Trail

Dogwood’s newest satellite event, the Oak Ridge Festival, offers several exciting activities and events for the whole family! The annual Cardboard Boat Race returns for its second year at the Oak Ridge Marina with 20 teams competing for survival and cardboard victory. The Oak Ridge Dogwood Invitational Regatta combines two long-standing regattas, the Oak Ridge Scholastic Regatta and the Dogwood Masters Regatta. Youth and college groups are invited to enter, as well as members of open and master programs. Also included are events from the Tennessee Sate Rowing Championships.

The Open Garden at Jackson Square premiers this year at the Emma Spray Garden renovation. An Open Garden Luncheon kicks off the festivities with an ornamental garden tent and plants and flowers available for sale. The Oak Ridge Dogwood Trail also offers beautiful sights with unique dogwoods of vibrant colors.
