Where

The 11th edition of the annual Tulp Festival will pay tribute to Amsterdam 750 in April 2025. At a record number of locations across all city districts, masses of tulips in public space will give colour to the capital’s birthday in early spring. Tubs and bowls full of tulips enliven streets and squares, flowerbeds and parks, bridges and gardens, under the motto ‘a tulip for every Amsterdammer’. Throughout April, Tulp Festival Amsterdam will send you on a voyage of discovery along more than 100 locations with a total of hundreds of thousands of tulips. Tulp Festival brightens up shopping areas and residential neighbourhoods and the photogenic tulip can be beautifully immortalised everywhere.

How

Stroll or cycle along parks and squares, streets and gardens and admire the tulips displayed in large scales or tubs, or planted in the ground. Let yourself be seduced by the explosion of varieties and colors and be inspired to take pictures of these lovely Spring flowers.

A tulip for every citizen

History

Tulp Festival connects city districts, businesses, residents and visitors. Garden designer Saskia Albrecht, is the founder of Tulp Festival. It is her ambition to bring the tulip back to the streets of Amsterdam, her motto: ‘a tulip for every citizen of Amsterdam’. For every citizen also means a tulip from every citizen. School children, businesses, shop owners, hotels, museums and city districts plant bulbs in the Autumn; residents are encouraged to join in too and in this way help brighten up the Amsterdam streets. Tulp Festival sends you on a discovery journey. Each year you will find new surprising locations.

Planting Day

For every edition of the Tulp Festival tulip bulbs are planted directly in the ground or raised in tubs. In Autumn, Tulp Festival is organizing an annual ‘Tulip Planting Day’. This tradition brings school kids, neighbours and volunteers together to share the pleasure of contributing to the festival in residential areas across the city.  Join us in our campaign: ‘Plant a bulb for you and me’. Or Donate to help us reach our goal of planting tulips for the number of inhabitants.
