Chilliwack Tulips Returns
This beloved annual floral attraction is returning, beginning April 11, 2021! Launched in 2006, Chilliwack Tulips is the first attraction of its kind in the Fraser Valley — and it’s still the largest in BC, with millions of Tulip bulbs blooming each year! They were forced to take a hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic but are proudly returning this year for their 15th annual edition, starting this weekend.
CHILLIWACK SPRING BLOOMS
As the earliest phase of Chilliwack Tulips the Chilliwack Spring Blooms offers acres upon acres of many varieties of heavenly scented Hyacinths in full bloom, 16 varieties of specialty Double Daffodils with so many lavish petals, and a 4-acre field of budding Tulips. Chilliwack Spring Blooms will take place April 11th to April 15th.
