Harrison Tulip Festival Opens April 10
Canada’s largest tulip festival blooms daily through early May in Agassiz
Spring has officially arrived in the Fraser Valley, and with it comes the highly anticipated return of the Harrison Tulip Festival. Opening Friday, April 10, the festival will welcome guests daily through at least May 3, offering vibrant colour and immersive spring experiences.
Spanning 45 acres and featuring more than 14 million blooms — including tulips, daffodils and hyacinths — the Harrison Tulip Festival is Canada’s largest tulip festival. With 150 varieties of tulips planted across the fields, visitors can expect a dynamic, ever-changing landscape designed for wandering, lingering, and capturing unforgettable spring moments. With different floral varieties blooming throughout the festival and across the grounds, between 20 and 30 acres of flowers are in full bloom at any given time, ensuring there’s always something fresh to enjoy.
The festival, presented by the Onos family — pioneers of BC’s original tulip festival — continues a two-decade tradition of celebrating spring in the Fraser Valley. “My family and I are excited to welcome guests to the fields for what marks our family’s 20th annual tulip festival,” says Kate Onos-Gilbert, festival founder. “We plan to make this milestone year our biggest and best yet.”
In addition to the sweeping fields of colour, the festival invites guests to enjoy a full lineup of experiences across the farm, including:
- The four-acre Show Garden, featuring curated tulip displays in a range of unique varieties
- The Night Garden (select dates), an illuminated evening experience set within the Show Garden
- Three food trucks, including a new addition, The Dutch Wagon, serving Dutch street food
- The Bloom Bar, a self-serve flower area to make bouquets and flower crowns
- Sunrise and sunset yoga & pilates sessions in the fields
- Floral workshops, including a new Hyacinth Mosaic workshop
- Yard games and relaxed gathering spaces
- The Farm Store, stocked with seasonal goods and gifts, including a new selection of imported Dutch treats
For those travelling from Metro Vancouver, the festival’s new shuttle service from the City of Lougheed – Lougheed Shopping Centre (Burnaby) will run on select dates, with additional dates potentially added based on demand.
