Know Before You Go
All tickets must be purchased online for the 2024 festival. Tickets are not available at the gate. For the most up-to-date information, please visit the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm website.
The annual bloom of cherry blossoms at downtown Portland’s Waterfront Park is impressive, but an even more colorful burst of flowers appears every spring just 32 miles (51 km) south of the city, in Woodburn. The Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival blossoms each spring, drawing thousands to come and see 40 acres (16 ha) of tulips in bloom, rain or shine.
Tulip bulbs are classified as early to mid-season flowers. This means that in the Portland area, their bloom season runs from March through May. Likewise, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival runs from mid-March to early May, with the most flowers in full bloom around mid-April. Blooms only last for about two weeks, so don’t wait too long to frolic in these fields!

Is food sold at the festival?
Beyond beautiful tulips, enjoy a gift shop, café, and family-friendly fun at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. The kids’ area includes rubber duck races, horse swings, a hay bale tent, and cow wagons to cart your little ones around through the fields. Also available for entertaining the young ones are a bounce house and carnival rides (which are weather-dependent and not included with admission).
In addition to fresh-cut flowers and potted tulips, gardeners can order tulip bulbs for fall planting, and even the most amateur photographers can capture incredible photos – you just can’t go wrong when you get 40 acres (16 ha) of tulips, a windmill, and Mount Hood in the frame.
Daily field reports (complete with photos) highlight conditions (muddy or dry) and bloom updates (early to in-full-bloom). Remember that rain brings mud puddles, so be sure to wear shoes that can get muddy, and bring an umbrella.
Throughout the festival, there are several special events, the Tulip Trail Run and Farm and Wine Tours; you can even view the expanse of tulip fields from a hot air balloon! Head to the family farm’s website for a full list of festival activities and offerings.
Insider tip: If you have time, make it a day trip and head to nearby Silver Falls State Park, The Oregon Garden, or the Aurora National Historic District, which features antique shops, an architectural salvage shop and quaint cafés.
