AZALEA FESTIVAL

The 68th Azalea Festival returned to campus for the community and neighbors to enjoy from April 29 to May 1. The annual Azalea Festival raises funds for faculty professional development and student financial assistance. It is also our signature community event where students, parents, alumni, faculty, and staff come together to enjoy FunLand rides and student performances; select from a large assortment of azaleas, annuals, perennials, herbs, and vegetables; enjoy a variety of food and baked goods; and shop in a curated selection of boutiques as well as the Bearly Used section. Parents, alumni, and faculty also enjoyed the ‘Zalea Bash and auction on Friday night.

Landon extends its deepest thanks to the dedicated committee chairs and weekend volunteers who make this annual community tradition possible. We are also grateful to the generous support of our Azalea sponsors and those who raised their paddle at ‘Zalea Bash to support faculty enrichment. We are delighted to report that profits from the weekend events exceeded the goal, raising $320,000. Congratulations to all for being a part of it!
