Lilac Fest brings out thousands of people looking for local crafts, food and performances.
Each spring, thousands of attendees come out to enjoy the unique and pedestrian friendly 4th Street venue, offering an array of musical talent, artisan vendors, quality entertainment and some perfect people watching.
At the Lilac Festival, there is an activity made for all ages. This could mean a jump in the bouncer for the kids, discovering a great new band, choosing a perfect summer patio or searching for a trendy fashion; there is no shortage of things happening.
The 4th Street Festival Society works diligently to provide an ideal environment for new and emerging local musicians to showcase their talents. There are six stages hosting over 30 performances throughout the day, offering artists exposure to an often brand new audience.
4th Street is host to over 500 vendors that vary from artisan crafts, to imported wares, to community organizations and more!
“We always know when we have a temperature that’s supposed to be in the 27-26 celsius degree range, it’s going to be busy,” said Victoria Kuefler, who was working at the festival. “Our line is usually pretty out of control. It’s steady and it will be long the whole day and you never really see the end of it.”
