Today I attended the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, held in Blackburn Park in Brookhaven, GA. I came with my puppy, Penny, who received a lot of compliments herself.

The festival featured a number of food trucks, arts & crafts booths, and live music. I stayed around for the dog parade & costume contest, which had the following categories in 2017:

• Artsy Bark (stepping outside the box, creative)
• Cherry Blossom Awesome (your finest in pink)
• Doggie Diva (sophisticated, stylish)
• Super Hero Swag (need we say more)
• #SquadGoals (Pet+Pet or Pet+Human Combos)¹
• Best in Show (All will bone down to you if you win)

There were a number of creative costumes this year! Below, a gallery from the images I captured during the event.

If you attended, what was your favorite part of the festival?

¹ The #SquadGoals category was won by "The Three Amigos," my personal favorite from the day.
