Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival

It's springtime here in Utah, and that means it's that time again for the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival!! I've never been, but I am excited to go with my family this year. I'm hoping to sneak a peek while I'm at Snap! Conference next week, too!

The Tulip Festival officially opens today and runs through April 27th, 10 am to 8 pm daily, closed Sundays. The 55-acre Thanksgiving Point Gardens displays 250,000 tulips, with nearly 100 different varieties in a rainbow of colors. The display is redesigned every year, so the experience is different every spring!

Not only can you view the gorgeous exhibit, but there are also garden tours and demonstrations every day. On the weekends, the Tulip Festival includes music, vendors, and food for more family fun! If you love photographing the flowers, enter the Tulip Festival photography contest! There are three age categories so anyone in the family can enter, and a grand prize for the winner!


 One lucky reader is going to win 4 passes to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival! Since the festival ends on the 27th, the giveaway will end on the 16th so there's time to get the passes to the winner.
Good luck!

I also wanted to let you know about the RUcurious2 campaign. The RUcurious2 campaign aims to raise awareness, support, and excitement for the Museum of Natural Curiosity, Utah's newest children's museum scheduled to open spring 2014! We're SO excited for this!!

    I don't have one... although yellow makes me think sunny, blue the color of sky and ocean, green the color of trees, red- I think of robins. I could go on and on with every color! Pretty much all about Hermit's, "The Rainbow Connection"! :)

    Last year here in CT because mother nature threw them a curve on the weather cycle, all our tulips had come and gone before the annual tulip festival. Not a one was left. OOPS

    Hey Lindsay! I always wanted a spring wedding so I could have tulips and daffodils as my flowers. Well, my November wedding date didn't accommodate that. I've seen the ads for the Tulip Festival for years, but never gone. I'd love to check it out this year. xoxo from AmyS ;)
