All Festival tickets (including the Airlie Luncheon Garden Party) are only available while supplies last. The Festival Office’s date of receipt of purchase monies governs the availability of the tickets you wish to purchase.

Individuals and businesses are limited to purchasing three Patronships each. THE FESTIVAL IS UNABLE TO “GUARANTEE” A PRECISE NUMBER OF “ONSITE” PARKING SPACES FOR THE AIRLIE GARDENS LUNCHEON EVENT. The Festival will strive to provide as much on-site parking for this event as permitted by the Airlie Gardens Foundation and New Hanover County. To maximize your chances of receiving priority parking at the Airlie Gardens Luncheon, purchase your patron package as soon as possible. Parking is allotted in order of your assigned patron number. Additional ticket purchases through your patron package are available only while supplies last and do not include priority parking.
