Celebrating the blooming of the spring and that all-important purple flower, the Lilac Festival features a huge market with over 600 stalls and an all-day line-up of the best in Calgary music, including rock, country, jazz, folk, and world music. The main event is a massive parade starting at 10am at the intersection of 4th Street and 25th Avenue, and continuing along 4th Street to 13th Avenue.
