Azalea Festival
March 17 in White Springs Opens Adams Country Store, Built in 1865, to Public
Featuring Arts & Crafts, live entertainment and a beauty pageant at 2:00 p.m. to crown Little Miss Azalea. The event is from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

This year at the Annual Wild Azalea Festival they will have the historic Adams Country Store, built in 1865, open to the public. The Suwannee Valley Times recently found three artists from the Art League of North Florida sitting on the roadside across from the store putting it on canvas. Look for their booth at the Azalea Festival, you may find a pencil drawing by Ed Houry, a watercolor by Wally Reichert or an oil painting by John Rice of the Adams Country Store on display.

You may want to take a nature walk and enjoy the primitive beauty of the Suwannee River while admiring the beautiful wild azaleas. You can also swap, sell, buy or trade at the monthly swap meet on the corner at Suwannee Hardware.

A new addition this year to the Azalea Festival is a fundraiser for H.O.P.E. (Helping Our People Excel) featuring fun activities for kids, more information about the fundraiser is below on this page.

The Nature & Heritage Tourism Center and the White Springs Special Events Committee sponsor the Azalea Festival. For more information call 386-397-4462.
