Lilac Time each May in Lombard
While some communities celebrate cherry blossom season, Lombard has Lilac Time. Every May, Liliacia Park bursts with lilac blooms. An organization tracks the flowers as they bud to help predict peak bloom for residents and visitors. For two weeks, the village celebrates with a festival featuring local businesses and live music to a parade as the grand finale on the final Sunday. "Around Thursday, people will start putting out their lawn chairs to stake out their spot for the parade," says broker Jodee Baker with Platinum Partners Realtors and lifelong Lombard resident. Saturday evenings throughout the summer, Cruise Nights and Summer Concerts draw people to downtown Lombard. Vintage cars fill the streets, where people can take in the different models and features. People set up their lawn chairs for the free concert from a local band. Downtown Lombard always has something going on, especially with so many local businesses. “They have wine tastings, and you go from business to business downtown to taste different wines,” Vykruta says. “Everyone participates.”AP and dual credit courses at Glenbard East High School
