The Annual Camellia Festival at Eden Gardens State Park will be held on Saturday February 8, 2025 from 10am-2pm. This event, hosted by The Friends of Eden, is free with paid park admission which is $4 per vehicle. Additional parking for the event will be available at Bay Elementary School with tram service to the park. The back gate will also be open during the event which is a short walk from the Bay Elementary parking lot.
There will be educational stations set up throughout the park for guests to enjoy, and live music played by Earth Vibes Band on the Bayou Stage. Bring your appetite too, because B’s Smoking Barbecue will be selling delicious food & drinks near the pavilion.
As a fundraiser for the park, 3 Gallon Camellias will be sold in the nursery area during the event. If you are interested in a larger camellia, 7 Gallon Camellias will be available to Pre-Order for $85 each through our website, and the dead-line for placing those Pre-orders is Jan 29th.
