Tulip Festivals Kick Off Across North America

Tulip festivals across North America are underway, each celebrating the vibrant spring bloom with unique traditions and activities. In Orange City, Iowa, organizers meticulously plan a year in advance, importing 30,000 bulbs from the Netherlands and relying on volunteers to ensure the tulips bloom perfectly for their three-day festival. Meanwhile, Pingle’s Farm in Ontario is debuting its Tulip Days, featuring over 500,000 blooms, pick-your-own bouquets, and family-friendly attractions such as wagon rides, live music, and local food, although unseasonably cold weather delayed the festival’s start. Both events highlight the importance of precise timing and community involvement to create memorable floral experiences. The festivals not only showcase the beauty of tulips but also offer a variety of activities that appeal to visitors of all ages.
