Due to forecasts of severe showers, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University has elected to cancel all Lilac Sunday activities planned for Sunday, May 14, and will instead offer a modified slate of tours and family activities for the public on Saturday, May 13 from 10am–3pm. Although picnicking privileges—typically allowed only on Lilac Sunday—will be extended to Saturday, food truck vendors associated with Food Truck Festivals of America will not be participating in the event. Of the thousands of flowering plants in the Arnold Arboretum, only one, the lilac, is singled out each year for a daylong celebration. Mainly located on the edge of Bussey Hill Road in the heart of the landscape, the lilac collection at the Arnold Arboretum is among the premier collections of these plants in North America. Be a part of this beloved Boston tradition on Saturday, May 13. Check https://www.arboretum.harvard.edu/news-events/lilac-sunday/ for the day-of schedule of events.
