After 54 years the Tulip Festival was almost not to be as it had struggled over the last few years and was deep in debt. It was sold to Businessman David Luxton and with new management changed the format, eliminated the spring concert series and made all the events free to the public. Crowds were large at many of the tents on Major's Hill Park and the star attraction - The Tulips did not dissapoint. http://www.tulipfestival.ca/

THE TULIP BALL 2007

The Tulip Festival went through many changes this year including new ownership. The Tulip Ball was held at the National Gallery and what a beautiful setting for a large event such as this. http://www.tulipfestival.ca

OTTAWA AND TULIPS IN SPRING

In the springtime Ottawa is a sea of colour with hundreds of thousands of tulips that usually blossom the first part of May each year.
