It’s that time of the year again. Spring brings the Tulips to our beautiful state.

The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival happens in the Skagit Valley of Washington state, United States. It is held annually in the spring, April 1 to April 30 and attracts over 1 Million visitors each year.

People visit from as far as Alaska, Oregon, California and even from across the border in Canada to witness this beautiful flowery festival

This is the Largest Tulip Festival in the U.S. — With Tens of Millions of Blooms Set in a Verdant Valley. Skagit Valley in northwestern Washington is home to tens of millions of tulips.

Skagit Valley Tulips fields are nestled in a valley surrounded by the cascade mountain ranges.

I was looking for 2 things -

1. Peak bloom time

2. And, nice weather to make a visit to this festival which is not far from home-

It is exactly a 1-hour drive from home.

We visited last weekend ( April 19th, 2025) and being a Saturday and sunny weather, it was jam-packed ( at-least 5000 cars in the parking lot) just for this one farm..Whew!!.

At, $25 bucks a pop, imagine the revenue this farm is making in 30-days of festival.

There must be at least 20-30 similar farms growing bulbs and out of them, Roozengarde is the most popular farm with over 7-acres of tulip fields and we generally visit them as its an expensive affair to visit more than 1 even though we got tempted many times as all other farms as all are within a 10-mile radius.

We spent about 3-hours and the weather was perfect. It was pleasant (10C) and sunny which made walking around quite enjoyable. Once we got our heart's content, we bought a few dozen tulips to decorate the home.

Nothing else much to say, hope you enjoy this colorful bonanza…Cheers to the beautiful tulips of Washington!!!

For folks interested to know. More, here is a wikipedia link of the most popular Tulip Festival in US.

Long queues to enter the farm. Once we paid the fee of $25/Person we enter the grounds and free to walk around and stay as much time as we want.

We stopped for a lunch in a quaint town and then reached the farm around 4pm and stayed on until 7:00pm (Our sunsets have crossed 8pm in the night) so it was perfect.

The biggest challenge in such events are unfortunately our own folks. They make such a racket that it sometimes becomes an unpleasant experience. They speak loudly, push others and in general are not public friendly.

Roozengarde has a nice style. When you enter the farm, there are small patches of the multiple types of tulips they grow so you get a sense of what lies ahead.

After view these beautiful multi color tulips, we then walk ahead wherein we come across the actual full tulip fields where they actually grow

Their entry and exit areas are also beautifully decorated with Tulips and just makes you feel wonderful to be amongst these beautiful flowers.

Check out the videos that I shared in a separate post.

Cheers to Tulips !!!

We can never get enough of it and looking forward to coming back in 2026.

This is exit area and the variety in this closed area makes your eyes pop.

Beautiful Pictures. Reminded me being there a few years ago. Myriad of Tulips colours as far as one could see.

Nice. We went there today, the weather was just a tad bit warmer(12 degrees C) and sunny. A small trick is that if you book online, the entry fees for RoozenGarde are cheaper

Thanks. I'm glad that you experienced the best Tulips festival in America.

Thanks. The fee difference between online vs. buying at the gate is just $0.30 as told to me by the guy who made us step off the line and pay there.

The actual ticket price was some $23.75 per person or something like that. I just rounded off the price to $25 to keep it simple.

I just looked at my receipt and I paid 22.75 per ticket including convenience fee

This looks beautiful—next time I'm in Seattle in April, I'll definitely think of going with my family.

It's amusing how we often don't visit the sites of our hometown (or in this case state). I was born and raised in Seattle and just went up the Space Needle for the very first time last year at the age of 40!

Thank you. That's interesting to know that you were born in Seattle.

Did you move back to India as your location shows Jaipur? How often do you visit Seattle.

I know what you mean about not seeing tourist attractions like Space Needle living here. I have been up there around 4-times and all times to show family visiting town.

My wife is from Jaipur and so we've spent time living in both cities (and in Delhi, too, for many years). For now we're settled in Jaipur—we won't make it to Seattle this year, unfortunately, but try to get there every year to visit family, and because our kids love it there in the summer!
