National Tulip Day

Activities and atmosphere

The tulip-picking garden is very popular, so make sure to join the queue on time. The average waiting time is 60 minutes. While you wait, a dweilorkest (traditional Dutch brass band) will provide a lively atmosphere with typical Dutch songs like Tulpen uit Amsterdam (Tulips from Amsterdam). You can also view the garden’s size from the footbridge.

A celebration by tulip growers

National Tulip Day is organised by Dutch tulip growers, united under Tulpen Promotie Nederland (Tulip Promotion Netherlands). These growers voluntarily ensure the tulip festival’s success. You’ll recognise the volunteers by their orange jackets.

Practical information

• You will receive a biodegradable tulip bag, which holds exactly 20 tulips.
• Pick a maximum of 20 tulips to ensure many others can enjoy a bouquet as well.
• Do not bring your own shopping bag into the picking garden.
• Share your tulip festival moments with #tulpentijd, #tuliptime and #tijdvoortulpen.
• Take care of yourself and your belongings; you are responsible for them.
