Spring Time in Oklahoma, 2011
One of the top annual events in the South
takes place each spring in the historic city of
Muskogee, Oklahoma.

The Muskogee Azalea Festival takes place
each April. The dates for the parade, main
day and other events will be announced early
next year.

Considered one of America's finest spring
events, the Muskogee Azalea Festival draws
visitors from around the world. The blooms
are located at Honor Heights Park and
associated events take place throughout the
city.

Honor Heights Park is located atop a hill
overlooking the city and features 40 acres of
beautifully landscaped gardens featuring
azaleas, dogwoods, redbuds and a host of
other blooming plants. The highlight of the
park, of course, is its azalea plants. There
are 625 varieties and over 30,000 plants.

Honor Heights Park also features picnic
areas, walking trails, a picturesque lake, and
a new Butterfly Sanctuary. The festival also
features food, carriage rides and more.

The Muskogee Azalea Festival features both
a driving tour that loops through the park and
magnificent azaleas and flowering trees and
walking trails and sidewalks that allow
visitors to get up close and personal with
nature. Be sure to bring your camera,
because it truly is an unbelievable sight.
