Tulip Festival 2020 cancelled!

Due to the developments concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Northeast Polder Tulip Festival will not be held this year.
The organisation is taking the government’s guidelines very seriously, specifically the point that events at which over 100 people are expected to attend should be avoided. Outdoor activities, like our tulip routes, encourage many people to take action and come to the Northeast Polder. The movement of large groups of people must be prevented according to the government and RIVM. The safest option is thus to cancel the entire event. Everyone’s health and safety take priority.

We regret the need to make this decision but look forward eagerly to the next one. We hope to be able to welcome you again in the spring of 2021 to the stunning ‘sea of tulips’ of the Northeast Polder! Special thanks are due to all our fantastic volunteers, who have invested a great deal of their time in the preparations. We also thank our sponsors and other involved parties for their efforts in the preparation of the Tulip Festival 2020.

The tulips will naturally be flowering from mid-April to the beginning of May. The previously announced routes will not be signposted. This will protect the growers’ companies and other entrepreneurs in the region. We are kindly asking you not to visit these companies and not to walk in the tulip fields. Support our growers in another way instead by buying tulips to take home!
