“The Lilac Festival is so much more than a street festival—it’s a celebration of Calgary’s creative spirit and cultural diversity,” said spokesperson Jennifer Rempel in a Wednesday news release.

“As our city continues to grow, so does this festival,” she said. “What started as a small community event has grown into a city-wide tradition.”

This year, visitors can expect more than 600 vendors, multiple performance stages and extended patios.

There will also be a kids’ zone located at 18 Avenue and Fourth Street.
