The Azalea-Dogwood Festival began in 1964. It is a tradition to celebrate the coming of Spring and our heritage of extending Southern hospitality. An area in the Garden District of Dothan has been designated as the the official Azalea-Dogwood Trail. Each year the streets are painted with pink lines to pave the way for spectators to follow. Guests are greeted by girls of all ages, known as Belles, waving from the beautifully manicured lawns.
