The 63rd Annual Azalea Festival (April 7th – 11th)
It is Azalea Festival season again in Wilmington, NC. The beautiful azalea lined streets and southern homes on the garden tour are just a few of the wonderful things to see during this event. The Cole Brother’s Circus comes to town – my boys have already reminded me to buy tickets! This year the concerts are featuring Goo Goo Dolls and Montgomery Gentry. My favorite part is the street fair – there are bands, vendors and of course wonderful street food!
If you are looking for a great family time, you are sure to find it at the Wilmington NC Azalea Festival.
