Join the Lombard Park District for old-fashioned hospitality and a stunning 8.5 acre horticultural display with 1,200 breathtaking lilacs & 25,000 eye-catching tulips! As an added bonus, enjoy the many free concerts and attractions that will be provided in Lilacia Park during Lilac Time!

Set on the former estate of Colonel William R. Plum, Lilacia Park boasts 200 varieties of lilacs and 50 varieties of tulips along with perennials, annuals, a picnic area and more. The people of Lombard are forever indebted to Colonel Plum who bequeathed his lilac collection to the village in 1927, thus ensuring Lombard's lilac heritage.
