One of the biggest (and most beautiful) festivals of the year is just a few short weeks away. The yearly Azalea Festival at Honor Heights Park in Muskogee will take place during the month of April and it’s one of the most spectacular displays of azaleas you’ll ever see. People come from all over the country to explore over 40 acres of vibrant blooms at the park.
During the month of April, The Azalea Festival celebrates the blooming of azaleas, along with several other flowers in the historic town of Muskogee. It’s held at Honor Heights Park and attracts visitors every year from around the world. It takes place the whole month, so you have plenty of time to get outdoors and enjoy the beauty.
