The 2008 Valdosta-Lowndes Azalea Festival was a rousing success with over 30,000 in attendance and wonderful weather for the weekend event. We certainly want to thank our many sponsors for helping to make the 2008 Azalea Festival a reality. We deeply appreciate their financial sponsorship of this important community event. A good time was truly had by ALL! We also want to thank the wonderful workers with our Parks and Recreation Department who went over-and-above to get Drexel Park ready for the Festival. They are a hard working group of dedicated City employees who helped so much. Thanks also go to the over 100 volunteers who work for months to create the Festival each year. Their ideas and input keep making the Azalea Festival bigger and better each year.
Mark your calendars for next year - March 14 and 15, 2009 for an Azalea Festival with new activities, attractions and delights. We look forward to seeing you then!
