Events Description
Ottawa’s award-winning flagship festival since 1953, the Canadian Tulip Festival is one of the largest events of its kind in the world celebrating Ottawa’s official flower as a symbol of international friendship and peace. The Canadian Tulip Festival is an event of the Canadian Tulip Legacy, a non-profit charitable organization established to celebrate the historic Royal gift of tulips from the Dutch to Canadians after World War II.
The Canadian Tulip Festival will be offering ALL our performances, programming, and public participation ONLINE and locally. For those who live in Ottawa, Commissioner’s Park at Dow’s Lake will feature over 300,000 Tulips in bloom for a safe, strolling experience offering the horticulture and heritage of our 69-year-old festival.
