Last weekend we visited the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. This is a spring Tulip Festival near Mt. Vernon and is held annually, April 1 to April 30. This festival claims to be Washington’s largest, with over one million visitors each year.
We drove for about 1.5 hours to the festival venue to catch a glimpse of the wonderful tulips. There are many fields in the area and we visited RoozenGaarde. The place gets crowded later in the afternoon so we reached there early. The day was cloudy and slightly windy.
There were many wonderful colors of tulips with beautiful color combinations. We clicked lots of pictures and I found it difficult to select which ones to post as the tulips looked lovely in all. Hope you enjoy the virtual tour presented here.
The fields were colorful and we thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the different varieties of tulips. Let me know your favorite picture here.
This post also marks the 100th post on my blog and it feels awesome. I would like to thank all of you wonderful people who have motivated me along this journey. Cheers to All! 🙂
Amazing … 🙂 🙂 🙂

congratulations on 100 posts, Ruchi. how beautiful is this! am glad you had a chance to see these as well. i was at one of the RoozenGarde fields, too, but well before the official start of the festival, and most of the tulips were already in their prime. Am happy to see that the tulips have lasted as long as they did.
and some great captures here! it looks like you and your camera had a good time 🙂 thank you for sharing these beautiful moments
