This is our 28th fall daylily festival! The location is in Camp Hill, near Harrisburg PA. Official events are scheduled noon to noon, October 21-22, 2023. Many attendees arrive early on Friday and enjoy the informal preview activities Friday evening and Saturday morning. Saturday morning we also hold clinics, Jim Murphy hosts a chat room, and we have other fun activities. We have many exciting speakers including Ellen Laprise, Don Wolf, Rich Howard, and Peter Donato presenting Steve Todd's hybridizing program. Peter Donato will show the daylilies of the future. A wonderful buffet dinner is included in the registration fee and we have a huge plant raffle, silent auction, and great daylilies for auction.

We are excited this year to provide a reduced registration rate for first time attendees! And we have a great daylily plant to give each new attendee. We want more participation from within Region 3 and we love everyone who travels to Lilyhemmer from other AHS Regions. Lilyhemmer is fun for every daylily enthusiast who is able to attend.

Registration fee for 2023 is $99 (USD); $50 for first time attendees and $50 for youth members.

Online Registration Preferred. Online Registration
