By consistently delivering memorable experiences, the organization has become a cornerstone in the region's cultural calendar, drawing both local residents and tourists to celebrate creativity and togetherness.
Founded in 2009 by Frances Schube and Cindy Flynn, Splash Festivals has established itself as a leader in producing a variety of beloved events throughout the region. The organization is known for hosting notable festivals, including the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, Acworth Art Fest, Chamblee Art Fest, Dunwoody Art Festival, Alpharetta Arts Fest, and Norcross Art Splash Festival. In keeping with its tradition of celebrating art and community, Splash Festivals is planning to introduce a new event in October 2026.
Specialization and Impact
Splash Festivals distinguishes itself through its creative approach to event production. The organization is committed to promoting the cities it serves and ensuring fair treatment of both artisans and sponsors. Each festival features work by artisans renowned for their fine craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and whimsical designs. These unique marketing strategies attract thousands of visitors, inviting participants to experience the distinctive charm and character of each community firsthand. The overarching goal is to support the success of each city, artisan, and sponsor involved in the festivals.
Community Engagement
A key factor in the success of Splash Festivals is the active involvement of hundreds of local volunteers. These dedicated individuals play an essential role in welcoming visitors and artists, helping to foster an atmosphere of celebration and community spirit. Through the collective efforts of volunteers, the festivals become magical gatherings that not only highlight the arts but also strengthen relationships within the cities they serve.
Our mission is to:
- Create events that showcase the cities we serve and provide an environment that promotes fun art and fine craft, family entertainment, and the businesses of the community.
- Provide our artisans with supportive environments in which to promote their quality artwork and enhance their experiences with our focus on exceptional care and respect.
- Honor our patrons and sponsors by providing strong community venues that encourage the building of new customer relationships.
