After days of downpours, the sun shone down on Calgarians who were out yesterday for the Lilac Festival. “It’s nice to finally get out of the house after a week of raining,” said Nick Moskaluk. With dozens of local vendors, plenty of spots to grab a bite and entertainment for kids, adults and even dogs, thousands of Calgarians lined 4th Street. For first-time festival-goer Allison Fielding, the day was a good opportunity to get out with her two young girls. “It’s really nice,” she said. “It’s good that the weather changed and it’s a sunny day.” Heather has been volunteering at the festival for six years and said the festival captures the spirit of the city. “I think it’s a chance to get out and walk around and see what Calgary has to offer,” she said. “It’s just a real friendly, warm event. It’s Calgary.”
