Details of the 2012 Lilac Festival were announced Tuesday morning.  The 10 day festival runs from May 11 to 20, 2012 at Highland Park.

Monroe County Director of Parks Larry Staub says despite the early spring, there should be some lilacs still in bloom when the festival opens.

Besides the main event (the lilacs), there will be plenty of entertainment.  This year's performers include Steve Tyrell, Melissa Manchester, Lou Gramm and Southside Johnny.

This year's poster was designed by local illustrator and artist Lisa Robinson.

News 8 is a proud sponsor of the Lilac Festival.
