Welcome to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival
The bleak days of winter are receding, and it’s time to get ready for full on colour. Over 450 000 tulip bulbs plus over 600 000 other spring flowering bulbs of all the colours of the rainbow explode across the acres.
Tulips have a unique way of reflecting light, their bright colours reflect the sunlight so they actually
seem to glow in the fields – they beg to be photographed and cry out to be tip-toed through. They are not
just beautiful, they are captivating.
After 54 years, the Tesselaar Tulip Festival is still a unique opportunity to see an exotic blaze of living colour far removed from your every day life.
Emerson said that "the earth laughs in flowers" and he can’t be far wrong – amongst all the magnificent colour, there are smiles everywhere at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival.
