Calgary’s 4th Street Lilac Festival will be bigger than ever when it returns this year.
The free one-day festival takes place every June. It features live music, family friendly activities and hundreds of vendors.
The event will be held on Fourth Street SW between 12 Avenue and Elbow Drive, and this year will extend to Central Memorial Park and along 17 Avenue between Second Street and Fifth Street SW.
The additional room will allow for two more stages than usual, along with more vendors, food trucks and expanded patios.
“Expanding to Central Memorial Park gives attendees a place to get out of the hustle and bustle,” said Jennifer Rempel, Lilac Festival event producer, in a news release on Thursday.
“It is extremely exciting to announce that this extension is permanent, allowing us to add more opportunities for local vendors, performers and small businesses to participate in the Lilac Festival going forward.”
For more information about the festival and the complete entertainment program you can visit the Lilac Festival website.
Lilac Festival 2024 will be held between 10 am and 6 pm on Sunday, June 2, rain or shine.
