The 25th Annual Azalea Festival is scheduled for March 8 & 9, 2025. The Azalea Festival is a 100% all outdoor event. We expect over 250 arts & crafts vendors from several different states, a huge food court, six stage areas of entertainment, a Classic Car & Motorcycle Show, a newly expanded KidZone, the World Famous Disc-Connected K9’s Frisbee Show, the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show (sponsored by The Langdale Company), the Falconry Forever/Birds of Prey Exhibits and Demonstrations, entertainment by Wild Adventures Theme Park, two great bands, the VLPRA Azalea 5K race, the Azalea After Dark events (sponsored by the City of Valdosta and the Turner Center For The Arts), and a whole lot more. None of this would be possible without our sponsors, volunteers, and the support of our local community.
What started off as a small, local festival 25 years ago has become a major regional festival attracting attendees from all over the Southeastern United States. It has also become a major economic booster for Valdosta and Lowndes County. Our vendors, attendees, and race participants come from several different states from Florida to South Dakota.
Make plans now to stay the whole weekend and enjoy the best that South Georgia has to offer!
