Annual tulip festival takes place March 15 through March 24 in Waxahachie TX
Waxahachie, TX [February 6, 2024] – Tulipalooza, the annual tulip festival held in Waxahachie, TX, is back and better than ever for its 5th annual celebration. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and taking place from March 15th through March 24th, Tulipalooza 2024 invites guests to an enchanting extravaganza of color and floral excellence while directly supporting nearly a dozen local charities.
Now, every year, in an extraordinary showcase of botanical beauty, Tulipalooza imports hundreds of thousands of tulip bulbs from Holland, which are then planted at Getzendaner Park – 400 South Grand Avenue in Waxahachie, Texas. The tulips are ready to bloom in a stunning array of colors, just in time for Spring. “We take pride in the fact that we collaborate with a local tulip expert, Bill Van Houten, who is actually from Holland, enriching the event with authentic expertise and a touch of Dutch floral heritage,” said Kari Zerbe, a festival organizer for Tulipalooza.
Additionally, guests who attend have the opportunity to be active participants in the local community, as 50% of proceeds from tickets purchased online will be donated directly to 11 local charities. Ticket purchasers can also choose among several charity partners to benefit from their purchase, including:
