The Lilac Festival is open daily from 10:30AM – 8:30PM

The Rochester Lilac Festival is a 10-day free festival inspired by a magnificent lilac collection at Highland Park that plays host to over 500 varieties of lilacs on more than 1,200 bushes. What was first planted in 1892 by horticulturist John Dunbar has turned into the world’s largest lilac collection that even Martha Stewart has enjoyed when she visited the festival in 2007. This event is perfect for all ages and has many events and activities including a Craft Beer Expo, Wine Tasting Expo, Art in the Park, the Lilac Run, Lilac Parade, gardens, food, Kid’s Zone, and much more.

Ten days of free entertainment on the main stage include performances by national recording artists and local musicians. Free children’s entertainment during the week and on the weekends! The Lilac Parade will bring dozens of marching bands, decorated floats, clowns, dancers and costumed characters.
