A season shaped by Mother Nature
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival typically runs April 1–30, but its timing is always dependent on weather and bloom conditions. This year’s cool start to spring delayed some flowers, prompting a later bloom and ultimately an extended viewing window.
Visitors are encouraged to check individual garden websites and the festival’s bloom status tracker before heading out.
Planning your visit to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
Festival organizers recommend visiting on weekdays or in the early morning and late afternoon to avoid crowds. Most gardens offer tickets online or at the entrance, and each location has its own hours and pricing.
While tulip season is winding down, the impact of the festival on the region is clear. Each year, the event brings a significant tourism boost to Skagit County and celebrates one of the most colorful times of the year in Washington state.
