Tulip Festival Returns to Ashton Gardens

Each year, we thoughtfully design the festival in collaboration with our Signature Experiences team, professional horticulturists, and expert garden designers. Extensive tulip collections are displayed alongside daffodils, hyacinths, poppies, and companion blooms in intentionally arranged garden installations that transform Ashton Gardens into a large-scale seasonal exhibition.

See how over one million blooms transform 50 acres into a living masterpiece.

Because bloom timing varies by variety, the gardens evolve continuously throughout the six-week event. As early, mid-season, and late-season tulips reach their peak, the display shifts — allowing returning guests to experience what feels like an entirely new garden with each visit.

This season, we’ve introduced new stunning topiaries integrated throughout the grounds, adding sculptural artistry to the floral displays. You’ll also discover custom artistic installations and newly designed photo opportunities woven throughout the experience.

Discover what’s new.

Ashton Gardens offers iconic features that elevate your visit even further. Explore the largest man-made waterfall in the United States, along with our dramatic Italian Gardens featuring a tiered cascading waterfall, charming cobblestone pathways, whimsical secret gardens, and photogenic landscape views.

Your Tulip Festival ticket also provides access to the Light of the World Sculpture Garden and the Tree of Life Sculpture Garden by artist Angela Johnson — optional routes within the festival that offer additional spaces for artistic appreciation and reflection.

Live entertainment, interactive classes, VIP garden tours, and festival-exclusive spring treats round out the experience, making the Tulip Festival a highlight of the year for so many of our guests.

Whether you visit once or return throughout the bloom cycle, we look forward to welcoming you to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival.
