63rd Annual Mackinac Island Lilac Festival

June 7, 2013 to June 16, 2013

Celebrating Mackinac's lilac collection began in 1949 after a conversation with Evangilene 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....for the official festival website click here
