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:

Thank you for your patience while we tend to our Festival home.
