Canada’s largest tulip festival is in B.C. and tickets are now on sale

The Harrison Tulip Festival is a beloved tradition in B.C. that marks the start of spring, transforming Onos Farms into a sea of millions of tulips. Vibrant oranges, purples, pinks, and yellows stretch as far as the eye can see, and the festival might just have an earlier start than previous years.

Canada’s largest tulip festival

Known as the largest tulip festival in all of Canada, the festival is the perfect backdrop for family photos and spring memories. There are typically hundreds of different tulip varieties to wade through, in addition to beautiful fruit and nut trees and other spring blooms scattered across the fields.

With the stunning Mount Cheam in the background, it’s no wonder that the festival was voted the most “Insta-worthy” of its kind.

At the 2024 World Tulip Summit in Holland, the Harrison Tulip Fest won the World Tulip Award for Best Instagrammable Tulip Farm.

“The Harrison Tulip Festival provides visitors a one-of-a-kind experience and scenic view, with endless tulip fields against an iconic backdrop of the snowcapped mountains of the Fraser Valley, making it the perfect Instagrammable spot for tulips,” the World Tulip Society noted at the award ceremony.

When will the tulip festival start in 2026?

While a representative of Onos Farms tells Curiocity that opening dates will depend on weather conditions over the next few weeks, the fields are looking bright, sunny, and full of rapid growth in their most recent Instagram video, dated Feb. 25, 2026.

“Historically, we have opened between April 6 and 14, so we are likely opening sometime during that time frame,” they share. You don’t have to wait until then to secure your tickets, though.

When do tickets go on sale?

Early bird tickets are now on sale, with day tickets available for $25 per adult, $20 for students (ages 12 to 18), $22 for seniors, and $18 per child (ages three to 11).

You can add two bunches of 10 tulips to your visit to take home for $21, or three bunches for $29.

Season passes are also discounted right now and available for $55 per adult (ages 18 to 65) and $50 for students and seniors.

A few things to note before visiting

As Onos Farm is a working farm, you may encounter tractor ruts, muddy fields and slippery pathways on rainy days during your visit.

Upon opening for the season, the festival will operate from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekends.
