General Information about the Tulip Festival including parking: Info
Let's meet at 12:00 at the Local 518 stage (Park Playhouse Theater) and decide what to explore before the festivities start and mark our space at the main stage by placing our camping chairs and blankets.
Family friendly and free event, perfect event to bring Mom. With many artisans and craft vendors you might even find that special gift for Mom, maybe even a Lucky Bamboo Plant!

Should you get a grumble in your tummy, the food trucks will be there, last year we indulged in Arepas from Oh Corn! really good! Also Ben and Jerry's is nearby on Madison Ave. That being said, the food lines can be long.

What to bring:
Camping chair and/or blanket
Sunscreen
Lunch/snacks if not purchasing food
Water bottle
Any games you wish to play, last year we had fun tossing a Frisbee
I will bring a Frisbee, Paddle Ball and Bocce Ball (if I can find it)
Positive energy

Free event!
Last year we had gorgeous weather, let's hope for a repeat!
See you there and Happy Mother's Day weekend!
