The streets of Downtown Defiance are filled with activities as we celebrate the official flower of Defiance with the community’s largest Art and Craft Fair. Join both young and old for a day of entertainment that features free lilacs to the first 750 attendees, arts and craft vendors, unique food vendors, and children’s activities. The event is free and located on Clinton Street.
THANK YOU to 2026 Lilac Festival sponsor, The State Bank and Trust Company!

UPDATE 03/02/2026**VENDOR SPACES ARE SOLD OUT FOR THE 2026 EVENT**
Attention Arts and Crafts Vendors: **We have had an issue with an individual reaching out to potential Lilac Festival vendors claiming to be from the Defiance Main Street & Visitors Bureau office and requesting a vendor fee. Please be aware that you will only be contacted by a member of our staff (Ezekiel Tracy or Lori Hagerman). If anything seems suspicious, please call the DVB office at 419-782-0739. Do not mail any payments other than to our direct address which is: Defiance Main Street & Visitors Bureau, 325 Clinton St., Defiance, OH 43512.**
