Tulip Festival

Thanksgiving Point

Welcome spring this April through May and enjoy all the colors of the rainbow spread throughout nearly 100 different varieties of tulips during the annual Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival. Featuring 250,000 tulips spread throughout the 55-acre Thanksgiving Point Gardens, the Tulip Festival is an awe-inspiring sight that is redesigned each year to create a new display.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the Tulip Festival includes spectacular tulips, music, vendors, and food. Garden tours and demonstrations run every day. Though hundreds of volunteers and staff work behind the scenes to create the festival, make no mistake about it: Mother Nature is in charge of the show.

Lindsey Gardens Park

This park has the steepest hills in town for Sledding and Snow Tubing, not to mention a good view of the city, but its south-facing slopes can melt away quickly if the sun follows a snowstorm.
