Tulipalooza 23

Tulipalooza is an annual tulip festival that brings a burst of color to North Texas while benefiting a dozen local charities. Hundreds of thousands of tulip bulbs are imported from Holland and planted at the Waxahachie Civic Center in December. Come March they’ll be in full bloom and ready for pictures and picking alike, meaning you can take home your own gorgeous pop of color.

Mark your calendar for March 17-26 and enjoy a festival filled with friends, family, flowers and food trucks. All while growing hope in our community and celebrating the natural beauty of tulips.

Tulipalooza is more than a celebration of beautiful flowers. It’s a way for everyone to grow hope in the community by supporting local charities.
