The main event of the North Carolina Azalea Festival is the Azalea Parade through downtown Wilmington, This year it will be bigger and better than ever, with more than 200 entries and 400,000 spectators expected, in addition to the live television audience.

The PCA entry always gets a lot of attention and we expect this entry to be our largest ever, with as many different Porsche models as possible in our 16 car entry. For the first time, we have a sponsor, German Speed Merchants, who is helping with our entry by supporting a portion of each PCA member’s entry fee.

We’ll meet at Circuit City for the short drive to the staging area, then appear early in the parade and follow the 1.5 mile route downtown. Afterward, we’ll take a drive through the coastal countryside, ending back at David Iklé’s home for lunch. It should be a great day for rag tops and families.

Registration will open in February and close February 15. We’d like to display the evolution of the Porsche marque, so this is a good chance to show off your 356, 914, 944, 928, Cayman or Cayenne, in addition to the Boxsters and various 911s.
Deadline for registration (click on PDF or Word form) is February 15, so that David can make the lunch arrangements and meet the parade registration deadline. This is a great event for the whole family.
