Mainstage Concerts Rescheduled

First and Foremost We cannot thank you enough for your support of the 73rd North Carolina Azalea Festival- and also for your patience and understanding as we navigate the cancellation and rescheduling process. We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. The Great News! We did a bit of rescheduling and are beyond pleased to say we will still be bringing some of your favorites artists to Wilmington – this Fall! Sublime with Rome Michael Franti & Spearhead NEW DATE Friday, October 16, 2020 The Avett Brothers with Chatham County Line NEW DATE Saturday, October 17, 2020 Tickets already purchased for these shows will be honored on the new dates – you do not need to do anything. Just hold on to your original tickets and mark your calendars!  Already have tickets, but can’t make the rescheduled shows? Request a refund here! Stayed Tuned! We are currently working on rescheduling some beloved Festival events in the Fall, such as the Airlie Luncheon Garden Party, Celebrity Reception, Street Fair, and Parade. We ask for your patience regarding these events, as all tickets previously purchased for them will be honored on the new date. It is likely that Azalea Festival events will be spread out over a few different weeks/weekends as we work around other events and scheduling conflicts in the Fall. In efforts to help with social distancing, the Azalea Festival Ticket Office has been closed to the public, though staff is still working remotely. We are still checking emails and returning voicemails, so please feel free to reach out if you have further questions at: 910-794-4650 or info@ncazaleafestival.org.
