While agriculture is a major economic driver in the region, tourism also contributes greatly. The annual tulip festival can bring anywhere from 15,000 to 40,000 visitors to the Skagit Valley each year. The communities in the area come together to not only put on a beautiful event for tourists, but also to support one another. Farmers, artists, bakers, chefs, florists and so many more Skagit Valley locals benefit from the flower madness that descends upon the valley each spring.

The annual tulip festival is a bucket-list item that everyone should attempt to check off. A pride of the Pacific Northwest, the Skagit Valley offers many incredible destinations and experiences. It’s impossible to witness the beauty of the valley without a smile on your face. Acre upon acre of vibrant tulips will lay before you; the contagious energy of the season is sure to infect you after a day at the tulip festival.
