After a highly-anticipated wait, BLOOM, the Abbotsford Tulip Festival, is now back for another season.

Running for its third consecutive year, BLOOM has managed to gather international attention for its eye-catching and mesmerizing mix of colour and beauty.

Over the course of the festival (typically five weeks), an average of 90 thousand visitors gather to see more than 2.5 million tulips in bloom.

Highlights for this year’s event are:

  • U-pick tulip fields
  • Photo-ops with tulip crowns
  • Food trucks on-site
  • Photo booths
  • Tulip bouquet sales
  • Games for children and adults alike

The festival celebrated what it called a “soft opening” today, and it will run “as the blooms last.”
