Did you know that Dowagiac is the home to 15 sculptures?

"I cannot conceive how any city can describe itself as major if it does not provide its citizens with experiences in the arts.” — James A. Michener

Dogwood trees that grace the gardens, parks, and woods throughout Cass County surround several of the sculptures. The Dogwood Festival, named for this gift of nature, strives to bring the beauty of the fine arts to the area, and its Visual Arts Committee has successfully brought together donors and sculptors to create a lasting display of beautiful artwork for the Dowagiac area.

Learn more about these 15 works of art by downloading our "Sculptures in the City" guide. This guide detials each individual piece and includes a map showing where each sculpture is located.

When you visit our city for festival events be sure to visit these stunning pieces!

Announcing our new way to order your event tickets with PayPal!

After careful consideration we are proud to announce that the festival's online ticket ordering will be handled via PayPal.

Not only is PayPal a very secure system, but we're also able to allocate electronically the exact number of tickets available per event. That will help our purchasers know if a particular event or a seating section of an event is sold out immediately.

For those who are not regular users of PayPal you can elect to set up a permanent account with PayPal, or just purchase one time by using your credit card, just as you have been able to do in the past with our own secure ordering system.

If you have questions or concerns about this new ordering system feel free to either call or email us.
