SUNDAY MAY 25TH 2008 10:00AM TO 6:00PM

Sunday, May 25th, 2008, marks the date of the 19 th annual 4 th Street Lilac Festival, and the streets have never been hotter!

In 2007 an estimated 125,000 Calgarians participated in this fabulous one-day festival. They enjoyed the wide array of entertainers that were featured on stages and entertainment zones along 4 th Street in the heart of the Mission district.

In addition, they had an opportunity to shop at over 600 craft, food and entertainment vendors along the 13 blocks of the festival.   With something for almost everyone to see and do we had participants dancing in the streets to the smooth sounds and scrumptious tastes. Fourth Street is known for it's diverse cultural restaurants - "you can eat around the world on 4 th " - and those restaurants took to the streets that day selling samples of their fabulous menus.  

Strong media partnerships have contributed significantly to the overall success of this event. For four years now, we have been very grateful for the support of Citytv, FFWD, CJay 92, Vibe 98.5, and Big Rock Breweries.  

The Lilac Festival has been voted " Calgary 's best free festival" by FFWD (Calgary 's News & Entertainment Weekly) readers for the last nine years running. We believe that our success has come from the media and corporate partnerships that we've developed over the past nine years.
