Abbotsford Tulip Festival permanently relocating to the Okanagan
Since it was founded in 2016, the Abbotsford Tulip Festival has quickly become a popular spring event that attracts people from all over British Columbia.
After four successful years, the festival was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2020, but when it’s safe for visitors to enjoy the festival again, they won’t be going to Abbotsford.
The festival announced today that it plans to eventually rebloom in the North Okanagan.
Thank you and farewell. We are closing our doors to rebloom again in the Northern Okanagan. It’s a bittersweet feeling. “It’s a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to the incredible community that supported our vision for the last few years, but we’re hopeful for the future of the event in our new community in the North Okanagan,” said Alexis Szarek, the festival’s founder.
