**DATES AND DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!**Most places will let you look. We'll let you pick. 🌷
Wilson's Orchard & Farm has been the original Tulip Festival in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids Corridor, and from the very beginning, we've done it a little differently. Come stroll the fields, take photos among the blooms, cut your own stems, and take a little piece of spring home with you. That's always been the point.
TULIP FESTIVAL WEEKENDS ARE APRIL 25/26 AND MAY 2/3, when we expect the fields to be at peak bloom. These weekends are our biggest days of the season and we recommend purchasing admission online in advance — buying ahead is cheaper than at the door. Walk-ins are always welcome, with admission available in store.

Plus, our monthly Sunday Funday live music event will be held Sunday, April 26 from 4–6pm. It is free and open to everyone. 🎶
This month's Sunday Funday features the Tanya English Band. Iowa City's own Tanya English has been fronting her blues band for nearly fifteen years, bringing classic and contemporary blues from a woman's point of view. She's backed by some of the best musicians in eastern Iowa, including veterans of the legendary Shade of Blue. If you've never caught them live, this is a good afternoon to start.
