Hosted by local and area civic-minded organizations, the Azalea Festival resembles a large family reunion for Pickens County residents. It gives people who have been away a great opportunity to return for a visit with old friends.  The streets of Pickens fill with artists offering a variety of their work and crafts, local organizations handing out important information on a series of topics, and an assortment of food that will entice even the pickiest of eaters.  This is what our spring festival is all about.
