Exhibitors and Volunteers will need to register for the show.
Registration is free, but if you aren't registered, entrance to the gardens is $15 per person. To qualify for free admission and other perks, you need to register by August 16. Each person on your team must register. The registration form is below. You will receive an email confirmation.
It is necessary to have the show program when competing in a dahlia show. The Show Program provides useful information for entering your dahlias in the show. There are areas for single blooms, 3 of a kind, 5 of a kind, 10 of a kind, floral arrangements, photographs, and more. Included is the schedule for setting up entries, when judging begins, and when the show is open to the public. You can get it here:
At Elkhart Dahlia Society, we've been passionate about flowers for over 60 years. We realize most people grow them for their personal enjoyment of the dahlia's beauty, and have no desire to enter them in competitions. If you would like to be part of the show, without competing, please consider becoming a volunteer. Many hands are needed to put on a Dahlia Show. If you would like to know how you can help and when, please send an email to elkhartdahliasociety@gmail.com. OR register as a Volunteer.
