Welcome back Lilac Festival!! Rochester is sure glad to have you!! It's not the same old Lilac festival with live music and so many vendors it takes 2 days to get through them but it's back!!! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to go multiple times! It's funny because most years passed the flowers aren't ready yet when the festival starts it's almost like they wait till it's over to really open up however... I've never seen the flowers so in Bloom and so beautiful!! Today I will go to the art section and find something that I will absolutely love like one of the hand-painted vases... I walked the park twice and I'm on my way again today to do the same can't wait for the smells of fried dough & Italian sausage, the sound of kids having fun playing games and riding rides, the beauty, the fragrance of the flowers! It truly is my happy place...

Visiting for the Lilac Festival in May was one of the highlights of 2022 for me. It is a beautiful park and the festival was so much fun. There were a lot of things to do but the flowers were the best part. I would recommend bringing lots of water if its a hot day since it can be humid. I was honestly overwhelmed with the number of beautiful lilac bushes so it made leaving the park hard. We did a walking path that allowed us to see the flowers and the festival had signs saying where to go and where to park. The park is beautiful too. There are lots of large trees, several types of tree species, different flowering plants, and walking paths. The walking paths had benches so you can sit and enjoy the park. I would recommend coming to this park to anyone and wish we lived closer so I could come to this park more often!

27 April 2023 Magnolias are past peak, but the Azaleas are doing well although most of the Lilacs aren't close to blooming yet, so you might want to wait to go see them. No, they still haven't made the park handicapped friendly by adding sidewalks at the bottom of the Lilacs and halfway up so wheelchairs, walkers and people with canes can enjoy the Lilacs too! 5 May 2022 Was a nice day in Highland Park, but it was mostly Magnolias. 13 May 2022 This is a great park! They've done some trimming on the Lilacs so they are blooming beautifully. Although they do need to do work on the paved walkways, maybe even put in a walkway midway up in the lilacs also a sidewalk below them too. It will make it easier for handicapped people like me who visit this park to enjoy ALL the Lilacs.

I grew up in Rochester just a mile down the road from Highland Park. Lilacs rang in the spring season that I eagerly looked forward to. The grounds of Highland Park were and are still after 18 years away, like a poet's dream, with grassy gentle rolling hills, benches conveniently scattered throughout, gorgeous trees with decades sometimes a century+) of history, little surprises and niches evoking early 1900's sensibilities, as well as finely manicured and designed grounds and flower beds to admire, and upgrades to the Park such as the Lilac Adventure Park made from fallen trees from the park. Like a little paradise right within the city and a year round delight, and truly one of Rochester's original and prevailing natural gems.
