tulip festivals
Spring flower events
Tulip festivals are public celebrations organized around the spring blooming of tulips, typically featuring large displays of the flowers in parks or gardens.
Cities with Dutch heritage or climates suited to tulip cultivation host the largest ones: The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival draws thousands each April.
They often include parades, markets, and cultural programming alongside the floral displays.
