Keukenhof Tulip Festival Amsterdam
From March 20, 2025, to May 11, 2025, the Keukenhof Tulip Festival is the place to be if you’re dreaming of wandering through the most enchanting flower garden and farm, not too far from Amsterdam.
Think of it as a gigantic garden party celebrating the tulip, the Netherlands’ most iconic flower, which, let’s face it, deserves a bit more love these days.
With a motto that’ll warm your heart – “A tulip for every Amsterdamer” – the festival aims to shower everyone with a bit of that tulip love and remind us of the flower’s beauty and significance.
But here’s the best part: it’s not just about admiring the flowers. Imagine nearly 800,000 tulips planted by local flower fans, all set to explode in a riot of colors come spring. And the festival? It’s a whole month of pure joy, packed with fun stuff to do. We’re talking about everything from carnivals that’ll make the kids giggle to chill cruise tours, groovy Dutch dance workshops, and outdoor concerts that’ll have you dancing among the tulips.
