Make plans now to attend the 26th Annual Azalea Festival in Valdosta, GA!
The 2026 Azalea Festival, a full two-day arts and crafts festival, scheduled for March 14 & 15 in Drexel Park, will attract more than 25,000 people from across Georgia and the surrounding states.
The festival attracts vendors from all over the country with unique arts & craft items. In 2025, more than 250 vendors from as far away as Michigan participated in the festival. Vendors ranged from arts and crafts to homemade candies, cakes, soaps, sauces, and jams, and the Azalea Festival is looking to add even more vendors and variety for the 2026 event. “The vision of the Azalea Festival is to work to showcase the best of South Georgia and more.”
In addition to a variety of unique arts & craft vendors, the Azalea Festival also offers six stage areas of live entertainment (our Saturday band will be sponsored by The Turner Center For The Arts), a huge KidZone, a classic car and motorcycle show (sponsored by The Moto Lab), the VLPRA Azalea 5k run, and more during the two-day event. Back by popular demand will be the Disc-connected K9’s Frisbee dog show and the Falconry Forever (Birds of Prey) exhibits and demonstrations. The Festival is very excited to welcome back the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show this year! The Langdale Company has once again signed on to bring back this crowd favorite. In addition, our Touch-A-Truck area will return to the newly expanded KidZone. The Azalea Festival is able to offset a majority of the costs of its attractions and special events through sponsorships and donations from local businesses, families, and organizations.
Admission is free!
