Ottawa Tulip Festival

Although I had already been to this festival over a decade and a half ago, it was most likely against my will. This time around I made the trip one sunny afternoon and was quite pleased with all the tulips, food trucks, and overall entertainment provided by the city of Ottawa. The festival runs from May 3-20th and  although tulips can pretty much be found all over Ottawa and Gatineau at this time the main concentration can be found in front of City Hall on Laurier street. Other notable areas include Little Italy (by Preston Street), Elgin Street (by Somerset), and The Glebe (by Bank Street). Free concerts are happening every Thursday to Sunday at 7pm. Considering the beautiful weather anticipated for the entire week in the nation's capital, one really has no excuse not to check this out! Perfect for families, couples, and friends!

For everything else about the festival: Ottawa Tulips or another one in Europe: Holland Tulips
