The Canadian Tulip Festival seeks to preserve the heritage and character of its fifty-five year old history around its original founding idea, International Friendship. In 2007, the tremendously successful International Pavilion featured the Embassies and community groups of 15 participating countries, attracting a record 125,000 visitors to Major’s Hill Park in just 11 days. In 2008 we plan to extend the International Pavilion to the full 18 days of the Festival with more countries and enhanced international entertainment.
A kaleidoscope of more than three million tulips is the focus in Canada’s Capital Region each spring as the Tulip Route follows the historic Rideau Canal to the Parliament buildings and across the Ottawa River to the Outaouais. All tulip events are free at the 'festival without fences'!
