Great news, BC! The family behind one of the province’s most beloved flower festivals is back with the all-new Harrison Tulip Festival (formerly the Chilliwack Tulip Fest), and this year looks like one for the books.
Now back in Agassiz where it all began, the festival marks the 18th annual tulip fest organized by the Onos family. This year, there will be 35 vibrant acres to explore with a whopping 10 million bulbs – including tulips, double daffodils, and hyacinths.
Visitors can also explore a two-acre shoe garden with a variety of mature fruit and nut trees, flowering shrubs, and grassy pathways with thousands of spring blooms guiding their way.
Among them is fritillaria – a new bloom that promises to be the “debuting belle” of this year’s festival.
