Zinnia & Monarch Festival History

On March 20, 2018, the Zion City Council voted to make the Zinnia the Zion Flower to beautify the neighborhoods and entice residents to participate in a healthy activity It was sparked by "Lilacs in Lombard" Upon returning from a Zion Park District Senior Trip in 1999, bus driver Cheri Neal, began researching flowers that the Zion community could embrace and showcase She found that the Zinnia came in every size from tiny to huge, and in a wide variety of colors, a perfect symbol to represent Zion's unique diversity. Additionally, Zinnias represent Joy! What better to plant in a community than Joy? The effort has grown with the new goal of making Zion the Zinnia Capital!

On April 6, 2021, the Zion City Council passed a resolution making Zion a Monarch City USA This project was sparked with a trip to Port Washington by the Queen Bees of Zion Red Hat Society, noticing a sign designating them as a Monarch City. The Zion Park District was contacted and as it turns out, they were already involved with a number of projects that qualified Zion, IL as a Monarch City USA, except for one thing there was no community event celebrating the Monarchs. A group was formed and a festival for the Monarchs launched. The second year, Carlen Borland, life-long Monarch enthusiast stepped up to chair the Festival event in 2022 The festival was a huge success by all measures. In the spring of 2023, resident Sarah Petersen submitted a suggestion to make the festival a Zinnia and Monarch Festival That idea took root and on August 19 and 20, 2023, the official Zinnia and Monarch Festival was born. Special thanks go to the City of Zion for their grant to help promote this festival

Historia del Festival Zinnia y Monarca

El 20 de Marzo del 2018, el Consejo Municipal de Zion votó para hacer la Zinnia la Flor de Zion para embellecer los barrios y atraer a los residentes a participar en una actividad saludable. La idea fue provocada por "Lilas de Lombard" Al regresar de un paseo para ancianos del Distrito de Parques de Zion en 1999, la conductora del autobús Cheri Neal, comenzó a investigar flores que la comunidad de Zion pudiera adoptar y exhibir Descubrió que la Zinnia viene en todos tamaños de pequeña a enorme, y en una variedad de colores, un símbolo perfecto para representar la diversidad única de Zion. ¡Ademas, la Zinnia representa Alegría! ¿Qué mejor para sembrar en una comunidad que la alegría? ¡El esfuerzo a crecido con el nuevo objetivo de hacer de Zion la Capital de Zinnia!

El 5 de Abril del 2021, el Consejo Municipal de Zion aprobó una resolución haciendo de Zion una Ciudad Monarca USA. Este proyecto surgió de un viaje de las Abejas Reinas de la Sociedad del Sombrero Rojo a Port Washington, donde notaron un letrero designándolos como una Ciudad Monarca. El Distrito de Parques de Zion fue contactado y resulto que ellos ya estaban involucrados con un numero de proyectos que calificaron a Zion, IL como una Ciudad Monarca USA, excepto una cosa no había un evento comunitario celebrando a las Monarcas Un grupo fue formado y se puso en marcha un festival para las Monarcas. El segundo año, Carlen Borland, entusiástica de la Monarca de toda la vida, asumió la presidencia del evento del Festival en 2022. El festival fue un gran éxito en todo sentido. En la primavera del 2023, residente Sarah Petersen sugirió convertir el festival en Festival de Zinnia y Monarca Esa idea ese arraigo y el 19 y 20 de Agosto del 2023, nació el Festival oficial de Zinnia y Monarca Un agradecimiento especial para la Ciudad de Zion por su subvención para ayudar a promover este festival.
