Join us for Lilac Time!

Lilacia Park is rich in both history and horticulture. Learn what makes it so special. Enjoy our tour of Lilacia Park by a guide from the Lombard Historical Society. Whether you're a history buff or a lilac enthusiast, you will enjoy the journey.

There is a misprint in the Lilac Time tour book and Park District website. The 1:00 PM Heritage Tour listed is incorrect — there is no tour scheduled at that time. We apologize for the confusion and appreciate your understanding. Please refer HERE for the correct tour times.
