2026 Dogwood Trail Kick-Off Celebration

The Paducah Civic Beautification Board (CBB) announced that the 62nd Annual Paducah Dogwood Trail will take place March 30 through April 12 or while the blooms are still bright. The theme for this year’s Dogwood Trail is “Bloom Bright Paducah.”

The Dogwood Trail Kick-Off Celebration will be held at Paducah City Hall, located at 300 South 5th Street, at 5:30pm on Monday, March 30, and will feature refreshments, announcement of winners, $1 Trolley rides and an old tradition that the CBB is bringing back this year, a “Follow the Trolley” parade. Participants are encouraged to decorate their cars, tune in to the self-guided audio tour that will be available on the Paducah Dogwood Trail Facebook page and follow the trolley. The self-guided audio tour, which starts at City Hall, allows everyone in the parade to enjoy hearing the history of Paducah neighborhoods as told by the Paducah Ambassadors on the trolley all while taking in the views of the lighted dogwoods. The first 10 cars in the parade will receive window flags for their cars.
