I always get excited about Wilmington's Azalea Festival. The 62nd Annual North Carolina Azalea Festival is scheduled for April 1- 5, 2009
The North Carolina Azalea Festival is Wilmington's annual Spring celebration. Founded in 1948, the Azalea Festival has emerged as Wilmington's premier event. Each April, as the azales and dogwoods are a Springtime showcase, Wilmington displays its Southern hospitality. The Festival's concerts, street fair and special events are viewed by more than one million people each year, in person and through media coverage. More than 200,000 are estimated to attend the annual two-day street fair, while more than 100,000 gather to watch the Festival parade. Each event is a celebration, beginning with the traditional arrival of Queen Azalea at the official opening of the four-day event. Stars glitter throughout town as Southern belles and their escorts are at the homes on the annual garden tour and at the annual garden party. Everywhere the blooming azaleas offer a brillant display of color as to the rich heritage of coastal Carolina.
