Landon Azalea Fest lasts Friday-Sunday, 10am-5pm! Shopping, entertainment, auction, flowers, fun-land and more!

The National Cathedral’s Flower Mart is Friday & Saturday from 10am-6pm. An irresistible array of festival foods, children’s rides, artisanal and boutique gifts and, of course, herbs and flowers, once again fills the nave and grounds of the Cathedral at this year’s Flower Mart. Drawing locals and tourists alike since 1939, this festival of flowers and fun celebrates All Hallows’ Guild’s antique carousel—a fixture at Flower Mart for decades.
