Bloomin’ Tulips pays homage to the many varieties of tulips that sprout to welcome spring. Crafts, art, souvenirs, cooking sessions, and floral varieties such as orchids and the famed tulip upon which the festival is built are all highlights of the Bloomin’ Tulips Festival. During the festival, music, food, and attractions bring thousands of people to Wynyard in the spirit of community and appreciation of nature.

The festival begins in September and carries forth for 3 weeks, to mid-October. The Bloomin’ Tulips main event is held on a Saturday in October at the Gutteridge Gardens, Goldie Street in Wynyard.
