May long weekend is the peak bloom period for Tulipfest, Ottawa's newest spring spectacle
OTTAWA, ON, May 14, 2026 /CNW/ - The May long weekend is just around the corner, and the promise of great weather will perfectly showcase the peak period for blooming at Saunders Farm's newest seasonal event, Tulipfest. The single largest tulip display in one location in Ottawa, Tulipfest presented by Saunders Cider features nearly half a million tulips across a six-acre apple orchard at Saunders Farm.
Celebrating 50 years in business in 2026, Saunders Farm envisioned a giant bouquet of flowers dedicated to their customers, community partners, and families who have supported the family business over the last half century. Tulipfest transforms the Farm into a countryside spring experience filled with rows upon rows of blooming tulips, immersive displays, outdoor Dutch-themed food and drink experiences, live entertainment, and wide-open spaces.
Saunders Farm's Tulipfest runs this year from May 9 to May 24, open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
