But there are other places around America where you might experience spring like a pro.
AsHarvard’s Arbortoriumexplains, the common lilac arrived in the U.S. sometime in the mid-1700s by boat from Europe.
It finally landed in Washington state in 1906, according toSpokane’s city website.
And it’s still going strong today.
This year’s festival takes place in the third week of May when the lilacs are in full bloom.
The events culminate in America’s largest Armed Forces Torchlight Parade in downtown Spokane.
