Thank you for being a part of it!
Mission accomplished! Thank you for supporting the 72nd Azalea Festival.
A successful Festival - rain or shine - requires hundreds of hours of volunteer time in the weeks and months leading up to the event and then during the three days of Azalea Festival weekend. Thank you to every volunteer who made this year's Azalea Festival possible and helped to raise money to support Landon while having fun together as a community.
We are so grateful to the co-chairs below and the many volunteers too numerous to mention who worked throughout the weekend. Thank you for your leadership and support.
Thank you to our outstanding volunteers and committee co-chairs!
