Tulip mosaics

The Tulip Festival will also be brightened up with tulip mosaics. Each village in the Northeast Polder will work with volunteers to create a beautiful artwork made of tulips.

The mosaic is in a prominent place in each village, so it can be admired along the way. This year's theme is New Beginnings!; that theme is reflected in the various mosaics.

As early as the turn of the year, or sometimes even earlier, creative locals put their heads together to come up with a beautiful design to match the theme and come up with another original.

Hands can only really roll up shortly before the Tulip Festival. After all; that is when the tulips are in bloom and the villages know what colour tulip is suitable. Nature also has to lend a hand; sometimes spring comes late and thus the flowering of tulips is also partly determined. With these freshly cut tulips, the mosaic can then be pricked and the design really comes to life.

With good reason, it may then be placed in a nice spot in the village, so that the many visitors can admire the work of art along the way.

Tulip Festival route maps also show the tulip mosaics.
