Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is the largest tulip festival in the USA by acreage of tulips, number of farms, and days of blooms. The Tulip Festival features fields of tulips, display gardens, experiences, and events annually in April.
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival features four farms: RoozenGaarde, Tulip Town, Tulip Valley Farms, and Garden Rosalyn. Historically, the tulip was a symbol of paradise on earth. We welcome you to our modern-day paradise on earth, the Magic Skagit Valley, where millions of tulips burst into bloom in April during the 42nd Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival!
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is Magic Skagit at its finest! The Magic Skagit Valley’s natural wonders include the Salish Sea shorelines, bays, islands, mountains, the Skagit River, and one of the largest and most diverse agricultural communities west of the Cascade mountain range.
