Description
Join us for Mackinac Island’s 74th annual Lilac Festival!
Since its inaugural event in 1948, the Annual Lilac Festival on Mackinac Island has grown into a 10-day festival held in honor of the flower for which the Island is renowned. The lilac is a spectacular variety with a distinct history. In fact, some are more than 200 years old. We invite you to come and join the celebration and experience the splendor of the lilac, while they are in bloom throughout the Island.
With our Lilac Festival Weekend, you’ll enjoy a garden and lilac tour given by a member of the Grand Hotel gardening staff. Meander through the Grand gardens and learn all about the varieties and work that goes on behind the scenes. Guests will also learn the history of Grand Hotel while attending a History Lecture with our Resident Historian, Bob Tagatz.
Enjoy all activities happening around Mackinac Island; some of the featured events include the Lilac Festival Parade, featuring Mackinac Island Businesses and Community Members, the Lilac Festival 10K run/walk, Coronation of the Lilac Festival Queen, and the Mackin-Paws Parade.
