Notable chefs from our region (and beyond!) work together to prepare the dishes. This event sells out every year, so be sure to secure your tickets early!
Seating
All tickets purchased together will be sat together. If you would like your party to be sat together, please purchase all tickets under the same name.
Allergies
If you or anyone in your party has a critical food allergy, please notify the North Carolina Azalea Festival at least two weeks in advance. The deadline to inform Festival staff of any such allergies is January 17, 2026.
