I always go a week or two before the start of Lilac Fest. The magnolia trees are at peak, and they are magnificent! Full review by landeserv

Beautiful experience at the lilac festival in Rochester! The blooms were so beautiful and the park was very busy. The parking was tough for the festival, but we managed. We weren’t able to enter into… Full review by 816briannap

As with others, I'm sorry I did not see this question before your visit. I hope you had a wonderful time, and that you saw the lilacs (which sometimes get forgotten among the razzmatazz of the part of the festival that is south of the lilacs. I hope you also saw the Lamberton Conservatory, and that perhaps one of the musical events was to your taste.
We'd like to visit in the third week of September. What will be the featured items in the Park?

Beautiful tree-lined walks, and dogs (of course) with owners (we hope). Don't miss the Veteran's section, which has a lovely walkway featuring plaques to each one of our area's …
Beautiful tree-lined walks, and dogs (of course) with owners (we hope). Don't miss the Veteran's section, which has a lovely walkway featuring plaques to each one of our area's veterans--a nostalgic, educational walk even if you are not from the area.
I will be coming to the Lilac Festival tomorrow with a group of 11 people, two are in wheelchairs. We will be arriving about 11:00. We will probably be in 3 or 4 cars. Where do you recommend we park - we are coming from the south into Rochester, probably Rte. 15A.

In the unlikely event that the handicapped Lot (#2) is full I would ask whoever the attendant who is telling you it is full where you should go. Alternatively, the festival website said of the shuttle parking at MCC (main campus, on Rte 15A) "handcap buses are available." I don't know exactly what that means in terms of availability, but it would be a good second option. So if you get turned away at #2 you need to go back south on South Avenue (15A) to get to MCC.
