Azalea Festival could become ‘Best Flower Festival’

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Cape Fear has made it onto another national list, and you can vote to get it to number one.

This time, the North Carolina Azalea Festival is in the running to be USA Today’s Best Flower Festival. The newspaper’s website says each year southern charm is in full bloom in Wilmington during the celebration that includes concerts, a street fair, art shows, a circus and a parade. That sums it up pretty well.

Right now, the NC Azalea Festival is in fourth, behind Historic Garden Week in Richmond, Va., Dallas Blooms in Dallas, Texas, and Tulip Time in Holland, Michigan.
