Skagit Valley Tulip Festival 9 Apr 2024

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Walk through a real-life canvas where vibrant blossoms paint the Earth in the shadow of Mount Vernon in the United States. That"s exactly what awaits you at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival in Washington. Founded in 1984 by the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce, it began as a three-day event but has since grown into a month-long fiesta. The festival runs from April to May and draws visitors from all over the world. The floral show spans multiple gardens in the valley, so make sure you explore Tulip Town, Tulip Valley Farms, Garden Rosalyn and the 50-acre (20.23 hectares) display at RoozenGaarde. You can tour the tulip gardens by bicycle and explore the local wineries, breweries and restaurants. Among the petals, life slows down just enough for us to remember the simple joys—breathe deeply, smile widely and revel in the spectacle that is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.
