Ottawa Tulip Festival?
Commissioners Park (Dow's Lake),Parliament Hill and Major's Hill Park.


Canadian Tulip Festival - May 2 to 19, 2008


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'!
Reply:tulip festival is a great event and a sign of spring!!!





yes the main part of the event is to walk and look at all the tulips and the best part is that it is free..there are tones and tones of them in various sections of the city...They are designed in different patterns...and very beautiful. They also have concerts, activities for kids, vendor to buy different things, foods, events at the casino in Hull and other activities. It is really something to experience once. For complete listing of all the events go to the NCC website.
Reply:It's all around the city, you can walk around and look at tulips but there are many activities also, mostly for kids though. It's a very pretty scene though.
