Everything’s coming up lilacs on Mackinac Island for the 70th annual Lilac Festival, which starts Friday. Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau Director Tim Hygh spoke with Michigan News Network about the event.

“We’ll have things like the Queen’s Coronation, and it’s nice to see a high school graduating class of four people, and one of the ladies is announced the Lilac Queen, and we have the princesses and we have the ofrmer queens who hang around.”

Hygh says restaurants also have lilac themed menus and drinks for the festival. It runs through June 17.
