The Lilac Festival is one of the best way’s to get into the swing of summer in Calgary. Celebrating 25 years this year, the free festival celebrates all that Calgary’s creative community has to offer, everything from live music, artists, local vendors and community organizations take part.
There are over 500 vendors to check out, and 30 performances by local musicians, and (fingers-crossed) the weather is supposed to cooperate this weekend as well.
This free one day event is the start up to Calgary’s vibrant festival season, and encourages citizens to shake off their winter blues and reintroduce themselves to the thriving creative community in our city. Each spring, thousands of attendees come out to enjoy the unique and pedestrian friendly 4th Street venue, offering an array of musical talent, artisan vendors, quality entertainment and some perfect people watching. – Lilac Festival
