PMC’s 37th annual Lilac Festival happens this month, on Saturday and Sunday, May 18th & 19th. This popular event is a wonderful way to welcome spring and the onset of warmer weather in our lovely mountain community.
The festival began in 1982 with little more than a bake sale and a maypole dance, and has grown into a full-fledged mountain tradition. The lilac was chosen as a centerpiece for the festival because it thrives in our mountain climate, and its short flowering season falls at about the same time as the festival.
The festivities run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, and the weekend is officially kicked off with the traditional parade at 11 a.m. on Saturday. More than 100 arts & crafts booths will be open all day, along with international food vendors, restaurants and unique shops. There is also live music throughout the festival, and a kiddie amusement area to help keep the little ones happy. There are plenty of places to sit, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the PMC Village and all of Pine Mountain Club.
