While you are enjoying the sights and sounds of spring during the Festival, be sure to visit the Garden Of Hope on grand river street North beside Sibbick Fuels. This garden was built to honor Cancer Survivors and in memory of those who did not survive. Take a little rest on one of the park benches and reflect on the memories of your loved ones who have passed on.

The Springtime In Paris Festival provides an opportunity for schools, churches, service clubs and youth groups to host a fun(d) raising event during the weekend of the festival. The Paris Horticultural Society hosts a garden tour; the Paris Optimist club presents their annual craft show. Mother Nature and Mother Nature in Waiting will preside over the Monarch Butterfly release at the opening ceremony on Saturday at 10:00 AM in Lions Park. There will be music in the band shell all day Saturday and Sunday. A live Reptiles at Risk demonstration will be one of the many activities provided to delight persons of all ages.

The Festival committee in partnership with the Paris Horticultural Society has dedicated proceeds for the past 2 years to planting lilacs in our beautiful community and to date we have planted 37 lilacs.
