RETURN OF THE AZALEA FESTIVAL
Celebrate the blooming spring season April 10th-14th with the return of the North Carolina Azalea Festival. 66 years of tradition will be brought back to the historic riverfront city of Wilmington at this year’s festival. Tours, street fairs, concerts, a circus, art shows, and much more keep folks flocking to the coast each year in April for this fabulous event week! Brunswick Forest residents especially love the Azalea Festival because of their easy access to events and activities all week long since Historic Downtown Wilmington is a short 10-minute drive from this coastal community! The festival officially kicks off Wednesday, April 10th with the Queen’s Coronation Party. Followed by a slew of festivities…check out the schedule below.
