Spring is finally on its way to Oregon, and we can hardly wait! One of our favorite festivals that we put on our calendar every year is the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. Are you planning to attend this colorful tulip festival in Oregon this year? The tulip fields in Oregon are starting to burst with color. Let's take a look at why this event is so spectacular.
This year marks the 39th annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.
The tulips were slow to pop out this year but you'll want to mark your calendar for March 24 through April 30, 2023, to come to see these bright beautiful blossoms.
During the festival, thousands of brightly-colored blooms in all colors of the rainbow dot the landscape in a stunning display.
Stroll down the rows of tulips to see them up close. Look, but don't touch! Bring your camera and spend as much time as you'd like, surrounded by brilliant beauty.
In addition to the tulips, there's plenty going on at the festival. Take a hot air balloon ride to see the tulips from high above. Several balloonists will be there on weekends, some offering tethered rides and others booking full flights.
Take the kiddos over to the children's play area, where they'll enjoy tire swings, a kid's slide, a hay tent, and more.
Hop on the Tulip Tour Train for a leisurely ride through the tulips. The train will even stop for a photo opportunity.
There are plenty of spots around the farm for some fun selfies, too!
Grab a meal or snack from one of the food vendors, including Gimme Some Sugar, The Feedshack, Fat Schlag’s, Hotshot Bar-B-Q, and Smith Rock Coffee.
You can also bring a picnic with you and enjoy a little downtime relaxing in the fresh, spring air.
Take some tulips home with you. Small, fresh-cut bouquets from the field start at just $9.
The festival is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The festival's website states that the tulips will be a little late this year. One way to watch them grow and bloom throughout the festival is by buying a season pass. Not only will have you admission throughout the entire month, but you'll also be allowed to enter an hour before sunrise and leave an hour after sunset so you can capture some truly gorgeous photos.
