“After hosting thousands of people to the Abbotsford Tulip Festival over four years, we’re proud to bring this event to the community of Spallumcheen and Armstrong,” said Alexis Szarek, founder of Bloom Flower Festivals. “The response last year was amazing and the feedback has been that our festival is a picture-perfect way to welcome the arrival of spring and to celebrate the wonder of this pretty season in the North Okanagan.”

In addition to the beautiful tulips on display, this year’s festival will also feature a u-pick field, flower stand, live music, local food trucks and special events including Paint Nights in the Tulips with Monet meets Merlot (May 5 and 12), Yoga in the Tulips with PV BLVD Coffee & Tanya Snow (May 10 and 17), Locals Nights every Thursday after 3 p.m. for Armstrong, Spallumcheen, Falkland, Lumby, Enderby, Salmon Arm and Vernon residents, and Horse Drawn Okanagan carriage rides from the field to the parking lot on the weekends.
