The festival will have an abundance of breathtaking fields of tulips, featuring over 20 acres of brightly coloured bulbs for the eye to absorb – perfect for those Instagram shots.

In addition the tulips, there’ll be two acres of hyacinths, three acres of peony daffodils, fairy doors among the tulips, flower mosaics, a “World Friendship” tulip display, and a “Canada 150” tulip display.

Returning festival favourites will also make an appearance, with the windmill, old-fashioned bike, Stroopwafels, and food trucks.

The farm began back in 1974 when Peter Warmerdam and his family purchased the land and grew tulips, and daffodils. But it was his granddaughter’s idea to create fields on only tulips where people can wander through and soak up the charming tulip displays.
