Spring is a time for flowers and outdoor activities, and this event might be the perfect combination of the two. Movies & Tulips is coming to Ontario and it’s a chance to enjoy free outdoor movies among rows of colourful flowers.
Bring your own picnic to this special outdoor movie series taking place from May 12th to May 22nd.
You’ll get to watch today’s most popular movies and there are two films playing daily, in the afternoon and evening.
The event is part of the Canadian Tulip Festival and will take place in Commissioners Park at Dow’s Lake in Ottawa.
Here you’ll be treated to a stunning display of 300,000 tulips gifted from the Netherlands.
The flowers span over a kilometer of parkland on the shores of Dow’s Lake, where the free movies will be playing.
