63rd Annual North Carolina Azaelea Festival

The 63rd annual North Carolina Azalea Festival kicked off its 5 days of celebration this week here in the greater Wilmington area.

The Azalea Festival started in 1948 for the purpose of showcasing the beauty of the local gardens such as Airlie Gardens, Orton Gardens, and Greenfield Garden. Since then the festival has grown to include a circus, parade, art show, concert, architecture and garden tours, a firework show and more.

The forecast for this weekend is said to be sunny and in the mid 70's. Hope to see you out there! We'll be sure to post some of our pictures from this upcoming weekend activities.
