| Mackinac Island Lilac Festival |
|
June 11, 2010 to June 20, 2010
Celebrating Mackinac's lilac collection began in 1949 after a conversation with Evangilene “Ling” Horn and Nurse Stella King who encouraged the then teen and today's Mackinac Island Carriage Tours veterinarian Dr. Bill Chambers to have a parade on Lilac Sunday. The idea was to bring people to the Island to enjoy a great horse drawn parade amidst the lovely lilacs that fragrance the Island in June. What began as a one day event called the Mackinac Island Lilac Day has blossomed into a ten day festival.
Join us as we celebrate the 61st Annual Mackinac Island Lilac Festival. With ten days of events, there is fun for all.
