Visitors enjoyed a wonderful display of local art at the first Azalea Festival Art Show since the pandemic began. The show was held at the Azalea Middle School Gym. This show is put on by Pelican Bay Arts Association (Manley Art Center) and has been a part of the Azalea Festival every year since 1956, interrupted only by the pandemic. On the one year that the Azalea Festival itself was cancelled, PBAA held an art show on Memorial Day Weekend at their studio anyway.
