Each year, tens of millions of tulips and other bulb flowers are planted across acres and acres of land – blooming in a dazzling array of colors and transforming the fields of Skagit Valley into a magnificent spectacle. Visitors from all over the world flock to the festival in to witness this breathtaking event, and it’s not hard to see why. With its stunning landscapes, lively atmosphere, and endless photo opportunities, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is sure to leave you awestruck and captivated.

The festival has become a beloved tradition for locals and a must-see destination for travelers seeking the beauty of nature with visitors coming from far-reaching states and Canada. In addition to the tulip fields, the festival also features a variety of food vendors, live music, and a street fair, providing visitors with a fun-filled day of activities (see the brochure). Many visitors also take the opportunity to explore the surrounding Skagit Valley, which offers beautiful scenery and charming small towns and is only one hour north of Seattle and one hour south of Vancouver.

One of the most popular destinations during the festival is Roozengaarde, a 3^rd generation family-owned bulb farm that has been in operation for over 70 years. At Roozengaarde, visitors can enjoy a world renown 5+ acre display garden of all the spring favorites – tulips, daffodils, muscari and hyacinths and wander endless rows of brilliant color through over acres of tulips in full bloom, taking in the fragrant air and stunning scenery. The farm offers a variety of events and activities, including self-guided tours, photography workshops, and a gift shop featuring tulip-themed merchandise.

When visiting the farm there are a few things to keep in mind. Everyone is encouraged to use to online ticketing ahead of time to purchase the $15 admission, plan on at least a two hour visit, don’t bring your pets or drones and keep an eye on your children. “The best, least crowded time to view the farm is to come on a less than perfect day and avoid the 10am to 2pm peak visit time. Sunny weekends are very popular!” suggests Brent Roozengaarde, tulip farmer at Roozengaarde.

The Skagit Tulip Festival at Roozengaarde is a true celebration of spring, showcasing the beauty of nature and the hard work of local farmers. It is an event that truly embodies the spirit of community and provides a fun and unforgettable experience for all who attend.

Beyond the spring display, RoozenGaarde also ships fresh cut tulips all across the United States every week of the year – and delivery from the farm to your home is always overnight! Tulips don’t get any fresher or better quality! Flower bulb orders can also be placed throughout the spring, summer, and fall months and ship at the appropriate time for planting – typically the month of October for most of the United States.
