MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival will kick off on April 1, a sign spring is just around the corner in Washington state!

The annual festival features five farms and dozens of acres of tulip fields.

Know before you go

Keep in mind that the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is a popular event, so plan accordingly. Oftentimes on weekends, traffic is backed up for miles to get into certain farms. The individual gardens are not within walking distance of each other, so it’s advised to have your own transportation if you plan on visiting multiple locations.

The festival is happening rain or shine, so dress accordingly-- also bearing in mind that the fields can be muddy after it rains.

There are designated pathways in the fields, so don’t tromp through the tulips at random just for the sake of an Instagram photo. Be respectful of the farms and the people around you.
