This just might be one of the most beautiful festivals in the country.
A Sign of Spring
We have finally hit that point where winter weather is pretty much behind us, but spring isn’t totally here yet (weather-wise at least, even though the first day of spring is March 20th). One of my favorite parts about this time of year is seeing the flowers starting to bloom. One sure sign of warmer weather is when tulips begin to bloom, and one Tennessee festival celebrates the arrival of spring with a million gorgeous tulips!
Lucky Ladd Farms
Located just south of Nashville in Eagleville, Tennessee is Lucky Ladd Farms, and they are anything but your typical farm. Lucky Ladd Farms describes itself as an “ag-venture farm fun park” with fun activities available throughout the year. One of the most popular events Lucky Ladd Farms hosts is the annual Tennessee Tulip Festival.
The Biggest Pick-Your-Own Tulip Farm in Tennessee
This year the Tennessee Tulip Festival is bigger than ever with more than 1 million tulip bulbs planted.
Farmer Ladd and his dedicated crew have meticulously planted more than 1-MILLION tulip bulbs, showcasing over 100 different varieties of tulips. As the largest pick-your-own tulip farm in Tennessee and even the entire Southeastern United States, Lucky Ladd Farms offers an unparalleled tulip picking, photography, and field viewing experience.
It is recommended to bring your camera (or make sure your phone is charged) because there will be plenty of photo ops with these gorgeous flowers.
There’s Also an Arts and Crafts Fair, Live Music, Fun Park, and Zoo Too!
The Tennessee Tulip Festival will take place on April 5th and 6th, and along with plenty of blooming flowers, the Lucky Ladd Farms Fun Park and Zoo will be open. There will also be an arts and crafts fair, live music, Dutch-themed food and drinks, and more so you can make an entire day out of this event.
