The 61st Annual North Carolina Azalea Festival will be
held April 9-13, 2008 in the greater Wilmington area.
The Festival is a celebration of Wilmington’s exceptional
artwork, gardens, rich history and culture during its five
days of entertainment that includes: a parade, street fair,
circus, concerts, pageantry, and all that is Southern.
Since its inception in 1948, the Festival has blossomed
into an extended weekend celebration that attracts more
than 300,000 people. The Festival is a non-profit civic
organization and this year is sponsored in substantial
part by its four (4) major sponsors: GE-Wilmington;
Neuwirth Chrysler-Jeep; Progress Energy; and
Wachovia Bank.
For more than 50 years, the folks of Southeastern North Carolina have been throwing the best party in the South and you're invited! There's something for everyone among our community's rich array of artwork, gardens, history and culture. Come join us! |
