PNC Bank again joins the Atlanta Dogwood Festival as presenting sponsor. Bringing financial support for the sixth consecutive year, PNC puts its funding behind Family Friday, opening day of the festival when families are welcome to enjoy youth-friendly entertainment and special pricing on the thrilling midway rides and inflatables.

"We are grateful for the continued support of PNC Bank,” said Atlanta Dogwood Festival Executive Director Brian Hill. “PNC’s commitment to the arts and financial education is demonstrated by their presenting sponsorship, and they are truly an asset to the festival.”

Welcoming families and featuring the unlimited ride wristband, Family Friday offers an ideal opportunity for families to enjoy the festival while still maintaining the weekly budget. Wristbands are good for all rides and inflatables (Friday only) and will get purchasers a discount with select food and beverage vendors. On the International stage, the Alliance Theatre will present African Dance workshops in anticipation of its show “The Dancing Granny.” The 81st Annual Atlanta Dogwood Festival is FREE to attend, and Family Friday wristbands are just $12 in advance or $15 onsite.

Support from corporate sponsors like PNC has helped keep admission to the Atlanta Dogwood Festival free for 81 years.

“The Atlanta Dogwood Festival continues to be a phenomenal showcase for Atlanta’s thriving arts scene and for great entertainment,” said Eddie Meyers, PNC regional president. “This year, we’re bringing back some fun and interactive activities, including the PNC Mobile Learning Adventure for families to enjoy over the weekend.”
