EVENT: JULY 9-10<br />
Festival Celebrates The Native Lemon Lily<br />
The Idyllwild Nature Center hosts the Lemon Lily Festival,<br />
July 9-10 in Idyllwild, a small resort town nestled mile-high in<br />
the San Jacinto mountain range and easily accessible from all<br />
of Southern California.<br />
The Nature Center has continued to host the Lemon Lily<br />
festival each year since its inception. This year’s festival will be the<br />
seventh annual and promises to be among the best! Special features<br />
include folk music, pony rides, a children’s pioneer town, crafts and<br />
vendors of all varieties, and two special guided hikes to see blooming<br />
lemon lilies in the wild.<br />
The Lemon Lily Festival was founded in 2009 by local businessman<br />
Doug Yagaloff along with several botanists, business folk, and<br />
the Idyllwild Garden Club who had a common vision of restoring<br />
the Lemon Lily to its natural habitat in the San Jacinto Mountains.<br />
This group enlisted the help of volunteers, the Idyllwild Nature<br />
Center and the US Forest Service to make this vision a reality.<br />
Their vision was distilled into the following Mission Statement:<br />
“The mission of the Lemon Lily Festival is to foster an appreciation<br />
for the threatened native Lily, Lillium parryi, educate the public of<br />
its plight and relevance to Idyllwild, restore it to its historical range<br />
and benefit Idyllwild economically by promoting it as a visitor<br />
destination.”<br />

Idyllwild Nature Center is located at 25225 Hwy 243 in beautiful<br />
Idyllwild. IER<br />
