Annual Azalea Festival

For generations, Brookings has kicked off spring with the Azalea Festival, centered on the vivid blooms of historic Azalea Park. Enjoy a parade, food, live music, arts and crafts, and the gentle warmth of the "banana belt" — the mildest, sunniest stretch of the entire Oregon coast.

It's one of the south coast's signature traditions, blending flowers, family fun, and a community that knows how to celebrate the season. Come for the festival, stay for the beaches, harbor, and redwood-fringed scenery that make Brookings such a hidden gem at the far southern edge of Oregon.
