Committee’s Note

We hope to fulfill a dream of our gracious donor. We, as a community, can join together and showcase the beauty of our village and the talent of its residents.
Please assist us in making this dream a reality once more this year by participating. Each and every entry makes such a difference and helps to ensure the success of our mission.
We hope that you are as excited as we are to see this year’s entries!
For the past twenty five years, citizens & visitors alike have been delighted to see the wonderfully creative displays throughout the village.
Thank you on behalf of the Violet Festival Committee for making Dolgeville “Bloom Again!”
Good Luck!
And remember…
Have fun with it!
