Hello Summer Post _3

  1. Day on the beach – With Carolina, Kure, and Wrightsville to choose from (not to mention surrounding beaches), the #hellosummer pack is ideal for keeping you cool.
  2. Picnic at Poplar Grove Plantation – Hit the Farmer’s Market Wednesday morning and stick around to enjoy the view.
  3. Nature program at Halyburton Park – Sign up in advance for a nature program on bugs, bats, or plants at Halyburton and pack your lunch and/or snacks with the #hellosummer pack.
  4. Rainy day living room forts – We all know the weather can be iffy during the summer in Wilmington, so stay indoors to build a fort and “campout” with snacks.
  5. Pool day – swim, hydrate, swim, hydrate
  6. Serpentarium – If you don’t like snakes, this probably isn’t the place for you. Not to worry, they’re all locked up tight!
  7. Canoe/kayak/SUP – Our Port City is teeming with water-recreation opportunities! Cool off afterwards with a #hellosummer pack.
  8. Surprise mom/dad/brother/sister/*insert name here* with a lunch or snack at work! (Make sure you have permission first!)
  9. Trip to the library – Go to the library, pick out some incredible reads, and find a nice spot. Supply the #hellosummer pack with lots of water and yummy treats to munch on!
  10. Lemonade Stand – Set up a lemonade stand (pricing is up to you), and store treats to sell (we recommend popsicles)!

Pardon Our Petals, We’re Preparing to Bloom!

The North Carolina Azalea Festival office is currently closed for renovations as we do a little pruning, planting, and refreshing.

We’re creating a space that better reflects the history, hospitality, and spirit of the Festival, and we can’t wait to welcome you back when we are in full bloom!

While our doors are temporarily closed, our team is still working. The best way to reach us during renovations is by email:
