Spring in the Valley

This is your complete 2026 guide to Fraser Valley tulip festivals of British Columbia. Spring in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia is a vibrant occasion. Nothing demonstrates that better than the many and varied tulip festivals taking place from Abbotsford to Agassiz. Whether you’re a tulip aficionado or just trying to take advantage of warmer days in April, there is a farm that fits your style in the Fraser Valley.

This post contains affiliate links. At no further cost to you, a small somethin’ somethin’ comes my way so I can continue to write these posts, hopefully full time one day. If your trip to the Fraser Valley requires accommodations or a car rental to make happen consider using my link and recommendation of Booking.com.

Why Trust My Guide

In 2025, as a new Fraser Valley transplant, I made it my mission to attend every tulip festival in the area. I was 80% successful only missing one of the five tulip farms due largely to the short season and the third trimester of my second pregnancy slowing me down. Luckily, I have been to the missing location for three other seasonal events so I can speak confidently on that farm as well. Let me guide you through what to expect and where to go this 2026 spring tulip season.

Note: My guide currently has 2025 prices throughout. As these farms and festivals update their websites for 2026 I will reflect that change here as well.

Further note that opening dates for all tulip festivals and farms are bloom specific. Generally, opening dates are at the beginning of April until early May. Check each farm’s website for exact open and close dates per season.

Lakeland Flowers

Lakeland Flowers is a tulip enthusiast’s joy. This third generation farm is run by the Warmerdam family who trace their roots back to the Netherlands, where tulip season reigns supreme. At this farm you’ll find thick rows of tulips planted for acres. Head there early morning or late afternoon and you’ll have the perfect photo opportunity. 

Plan Your Visit

Lakeland Flowers is the one of the closest tulip farms if travelling from the Lower Mainland (Vancouver) to the Fraser Valley. Our visit during tulip season was on a weekday in the late afternoon but the fields were still quite busy. Judging by the size of their parking lot, I imagine this place gets super occupied during the weekend.

Tickets were reasonably priced at $24 for weekends and half that during the week for the 2025 season. If you buy in advance online you can save some money. You could also buy a season pass to see their other fields during the summer which include peonies, lavender, lupine, and wild flowers.

Several million bulbs are planted on this farm in the Sumas Flats. There are lots of opportunities for photos with props like swings, tractors, wooden clogs, benches, and pianos. On some days of the week the farm also has live local painters and pianists in the field. Talk about a dreamy experience. Check their website for calendar details. 

There are also food trucks on site and lots of bathrooms outside and inside the entrance gate. You can buy bulbs, cut flowers and Lakeland Flowers swag at the gate as well. The fields can be windy and/or wet. Check the weather and previous rainfall to see if boots/water proof shoes and jackets are needed.

DRAWBACKS

There are strings up in the fields about 10-20 feet into every row preventing you from walking down each row (obviously to protect the integrity of the flowers), however, it does limit where you can take pictures. There was a $20 fine for crossing the string.

The bathrooms were only just outside and inside the entrance gate. The walk to the tulip fields is considerable for little ones, elderly, or immobile. So if you find you need to go once you’re at the fields it’s a hike back. 

I’m also sorry to say the bathrooms were in need of serious attention. And people really need to be more considerate of others when using these shared facilities.

There’s no U-pick option like some other fields in the valley. However, as stated, you can buy bulbs and harvested tulips near the entrance. 

Maan Farms Spring at the Farm

Maan Farms is one of the best of the Fraser Valley tulip offerings if you’ve got kids in tow. This location offers so much interest for children including farm animals, hand-built playgrounds, ziplines, jumping pillows, and even more activities on the weekends.

The owners at Maan Farms have planted what they claim is Canada’s first tulip forest. And I must say, the idea was really well executed. Usually, when you go to a tulip farm you see rows of tulips planted in the wide open with absolutely zero cover from the sometimes harsh elements. Here, tulips were planted under a small grove of mature trees. Not only does this provide some shelter from the sun but also makes for really dynamic photos and a unique experience.

Plan Your Visit

During the 2025 season, tickets were $22 with children 3 and under being free. To get the full experience lots of the activities at this farm are add-on purchases to your original ticket. If you go with a large group or lots of kids over three this could get pricey. However, access to the tulip forest is included in your ticket so if that’s all your after you needn’t worry.

Maan Farms is the first tulip destination in the Fraser Valley when travelling from the Greater Vancouver area. It’s located just south of Highway 1 and only a few minutes from central Abbotsford.

As mentioned there are a plethora of farm animals here including llamas, a donkey, goats, and pigs. For an additional fee, you can buy feed from the farm and feed the animals. The goats were especially easy for my 2 year old to feed. There are also two quite impressive hand-built playgrounds, however, I would not describe them as appropriate for children under two. The gait of the steps and maturity needed to traverse them is not for the under two crowd without close supervision. 

A farm shop exists at the front of the property that serves hot food and beverages. You can also find in season produce, like berries in the summer, and other local or Canadian goods. The bathrooms were clean and centrally located in the farm.

DRAWBACKS

As noted, to get the full experience lots of the activities are add-on purchases to your original $22 ticket. If you were a family with older kids and lots of interest in those activities you could find yourself spending a pretty penny. The tulip area is smaller than you’ll find at some of the other Fraser Valley locations but still beautiful with many photo opportunities. 

Botanica Flower Farm and Festival

Botanica is Chilliwack’s answer to the coveted tulip festival season in the Fraser Valley. I find it to be a happy medium between some of the other offerings. Botanica is a true tulip festival with over a million bulbs planted. However, the farm has a bit more to offer the family with playgrounds, a coffee truck, and a covered retreat on the grounds.

Plan Your Visit

The entrance fee during the 2025 season was only $5 during the week and my 2 yr old toddler was free. By far, this farm is the most reasonably priced in the Fraser Valley. They also offer a U-pick option where you get a large bucket and can pick as much as you can fit in the bucket for $25. If I wasn’t pregnant with a potty-training toddler trailing me I would have loved to take advantage of this feature. Staff recommended picking blooms that hadn’t fully opened to make the most of their vase life. 

Botanica does not have as many bulbs planted as Lakeland Flowers or Harrison, but they have an impressive offering nonetheless. Unique, thick beds decorate near a covered retreat with photo opportunities alongside a heart arch, pink hot rod, vintage bicycle, and double swing. Just beyond the entrance is a field of daffodils which were working hard to compete with the colour of the tulips. Further on are the rows and rows of tulip beds.

Around the property were two different playgrounds, a coffee truck, a covered retreat area, garden shop, and bathrooms. The bathrooms were super clean and well looked after. The farm is quite literally right off Trans Canada Highway #1 so very easy to find. There was also an Easter egg hunt going on the weekend we visited.

DRAWBACKS

The fields are not quite as thick or large as some competitors. The U-pick option might contribute to the fields thinning out as the season goes on. However, the U-pick option is still such a nice personal feature one can take advantage of. With that said, I’d say the slightly thinner fields are worth the sacrifice to get to harvest your own bouquet.

Greendale Acres

Greendale Acres is a quaint agricultural experience suited for the whole family. Truly, everyone in my family from my 2 yr old toddler to my 67 year old mother had a great time at this farm. Greendale Acres operates with the seasons, so you’ll find tulips in the spring, flowers and corn in the summer, pumpkins in the fall, and Christmas in the winter. They’ve also gone the extra mile here with a ton of activities such as a sandbox, jumping pillows, pedal cart track, bubble barn, farm carousel, slides, and a train.

Plan Your Visit

Admission rates are $17 with 2 and under and over 75 being free (2026). Their Spring on the Farm event is bloom dependent but runs from April to early May generally. If you are a Fraser Valley or Greater Vancouver resident you could also purchase a yearly membership for $75 which would give you access to the farm year round.

Greendale Acres is located not far off of Highway 1 on the west side of Chilliwack. If travelling from Vancouver, expect about 1.5 hr commute depending on the traffic.

Spring on the Farm features a hand-built tulip pyramid making for the cutest Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. You can truly spend the entire day here with the amount of activities Greendale has included on their property. They have hot food and drink on site as well as local and handmade items to purchase.

DRAWBACKS

The tulip attraction here is not going to be as expansive as some of the other traditional tulip offerings in the Fraser Valley.

Harrison Tulip Festival

Harrison Tulip Festival as hosted by Onos Farms, was a roaming festival finally finding its forever home in 2024 on a 109-acre farm in Agassiz (near Harrison Hot Springs, hence the name). The tulip fields here are planted on the feet of the Cascade Mountains, embodying Beautiful British Columbia literally. My favourite feature of the Harrison festival was their secret garden, showcasing tulips, mini grapes, and fritillaria planted among mature fruit and spring flowering trees and shrubs. We arrived at this fest a little late in the season and while some of the bulbs were spent I still found the secret garden feature stunning.

Plan Your Visit

They have an early bird “any day” ticket for $25 and reduced for seniors, students, and children (2026). Children two and under were free. They are also offering adult season passes for $55 (2026). Harrison Tulip Festival has been dubbed the “World’s Most Instagrammable Tulip Farm” so expect busy times on the weekends and fair feather.

This farm is by far the most remote festival to get to if travelling from the Greater Vancouver Area. However, the drive on Highway 7 through Mission and Deroche is utterly breathtaking and worth the drive. Taking Highway 1 may be faster if you’re coming from Abbotsford or Chilliwack but you might want to spend the extra few minutes on the lovely Highway 7 instead.

At the Harrison Tulip Festival you’ll find several fields intersecting with millions of bulbs. They do not rope off their fields but you are only permitted to walk down the wide paths as marked, not the narrow paths used by the farmers. I believe with the stunning mountain backdrops, including snow-peaked Mt. Cheam, that in full bloom the Harrison Tulip Festival might be the most spectacular in the Fraser Valley.

There is also an outdoor games area with dominos, bean bag toss, and checkers. Nearby is a shaded rest area and during our visit, two food trucks. A gift shop also exists where you can buy local handmade items, chocolates, flowers, souvenirs, and more.

DRAWBACKS

This is the most out of the way tulip festival in the Fraser Valley for most people. Bathrooms were only located in one area near the front which is tricky considering the size of the farm. I felt there were not as many photo props as some other festivals in the Fraser Valley, or they just seemed spread out due to the size of the farm.

Pro Tip: Stop at Deroche General Store on the drive to pick up some of the best beef jerky!

Honourable Mention

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Just south of the Canada-USA border there is an additional tulip festival made up of four separate and unique gardens: RoozenGaarde, Tulip Town, Garden Rosalyn, and Tulip Valley Farms. This is an honourable mention due to Skagit Valley’s close proximity to the Fraser Valley in BC. If you’ve got your passport this Spring, consider adding one of these farms to your Spring itinerary.

Tulip Town

15002 Bradshaw Rd, Washington

The jewel of Skagit Valley, founded by Dutch immigrants, this is a family and dog-friendly experience. There are 6 acres of farmland with over 55 varieties of tulips to ponder.

RoozenGaarde

15867 Beaver Marsh Rd, Washington

This is a 7 plus acre display garden with over 50 acres of tulips and daffodils in their fields. The display garden is annually redesigned and replanted by hand with over 1 million bulbs. Food is available for purchase and seating is available.

Garden Rosalyn

16648 Jungquist Road, Washington

With impressive views of the Cascade Mountains, Garden Rosalyn showcases beautiful tulip fields during the tulip festival season.

Tulip Valley Farms

15245 Bradshaw Rd, Washington

Tulip Valley Farms shows off a wide array of both tulips and daffodils. Their daffodil festival has 16 varieties to enjoy, with guest micro-mini highland cows, and a u-pick option. Daffodil fest runs through March. Tulip Festival runs through April with u-pick available as well.. You purchase tickets online to save money on the gate price.

See You in Spring

The Fraser Valley has a tulip festival for everyone. Those looking for the best overall family experience will enjoy Greendale Acres in Chilliwack or Maan Farms in Abbotsford. For those who are on a budget or really want to harvest their their own flowers check out Botanica in Chilliwack. Anyone who wants the genuine Dutch tulip festival experience (and doesn’t want to drive that far) should check out Lakeland Flowers in Abbotsford. Lastly, those who don’t mind the drive, and want to see the most extravagant tulip festival around, head to Harrison Tulip Festival.

That concludes my complete 2026 guide to Fraser Valley tulip festivals and honourable mention of Skagit Valley just south of the Canada-USA border. An immense amount of work goes into planting and removing bulbs each season so that we can enjoy a visual masterpiece. I hope this round-up inspires you to explore one of the many stunning farms on this list and add some colour to your spring adventures.
