Every year, Ottawa hosts the massive Canadian Tulip Festival.
The flagship festival showcases the Capital’s official flower as a symbol of international friendship hosting tulip art, floral exhibits and artistic installations from artists across Canada, culinary experiences, interactive family programming with entertainment for everyone, breathtaking fireworks set to music, guided tours, vintage military displays paying tribute to our veterans, and the WWII liberation of the Netherlands by Canadian troops, and of course, millions of tulips in bloom.
This year, the festival celebrates its 65th anniversary during Canada’s 150th Birthday with activities to delight all ages.
Taking place May 12 to 22, the Canadian Tulip Festival is the largest of its kind in the world.Â
