LilyFest Information

We had hotels in San Angelo submit bids to lock in some rooms for LilyFest. There is an oil boom, a water pipeline and highway construction so the towns hotels stay at about 90% capacity even though new hotels go up every few months.

The Clarion was the best rate.
Clarion Hotel San Angelo
441 Rio Concho Drive
San Angelo 76903

The Pavilion was Completed 8-28-2014

New Pool, Pavilion and Misting System

After 20 years of work and planning, the new pool has been constructed. Thank you to everyone who was instrumental in playing a role to get us here. You all know who you are and it was an uphill battle to accomplish it against the Bureaucracy and Red Tape.

Here they are pouring the sidewalk for the new Pavilion.
Another exciting aspect for the IWC this year as part of the capital improvements.

A state of the art, cutting edge misting system that lowers the ambient temperature in the park by up to 20 degrees.
The first of its kind in any aquatic display anywhere.

It would not be the World Famous IWC without magnificently grown, specimen size waterlilies to admire along with Victorias.

Pool #7 below, currently displays over 180 hardy and intersubgenerics (ISGs) waterlilies resulting in a complete color spectrum. Victoria's are in constant bloom with largest leaves currently measuring 6 feet 8 inches.
