The Summerville Family YMCA Flowertown Festival
has grown in size and scope each year. Established over 30 years ago as an 'azalea festival' to help
raise money for the YWCO (Young Women's Christian Organization), this nationally acclaimed arts and crafts festival now attracts over 250,000 people each year and provides the YMCA with the necessary funds to continue its outreach mission into the community.
