It’s beginning to look a lot like Jingle! 🎅🎄
Get excited for a holly jolly day at Jingle at The Golf Barn, presented by Atlantic Union Bank! 🌸 Families can enjoy a delicious brunch with Santa, fun crafts, cheerful performances, and plenty of photo ops to capture the magic of the season. ✨
Little ones will love meeting Santa himself, and families can keep the fun going with a BOGO round of putt-putt after the event! ⛳
Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 14th, and make this Christmas season extra special. Tickets on sale November 3rd! 🎁

Meet our 2026 Azalea Festival Artist, Elizabeth Reynolds Sheats! 🎨🌸
A proud Wilmington native, Elizabeth has been painting since childhood, starting with art classes at St. John’s Museum (now CAM) and entering local art competitions. A former Azalea Belle and lifelong fan of the Festival, she’s thrilled to bring her creativity full circle as the official artist for 2026! ✨
Known for her vibrant tree canopies and beautiful local landmark ornaments, Elizabeth’s work captures the heart and color of our community in both watercolor and acrylic. 💐 She’s currently creating an original piece just for this year’s Festival, and we can’t wait to share it with you soon! 💖

The Youth Art & Writing Contests are officially LIVE! 🎨🖊️
This year’s theme is “Common Ground” and is inspired by America250. We’re inviting students to tell the story of their North Carolina community through art or writing. 💙 Whether it’s a special place, a meaningful tradition, or the people who make your hometown feel like home, we want to see what common ground means to you. 🌸
Show off your creativity, share your story, and be part of this year’s celebration of community and connection. Submissions are open now! ✨
