Website | EmailThis free festival was born in 1945, when a grateful Holland presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs in thanks for giving sanctuary to the Dutch royal family during World War II. It is now the largest event of its kind in the world. With five million tulips in full bloom and beautiful festival banners fluttering in the spring breeze, the streets come alive as Canadians awaken from winter hibernation and hit the streets. Highlights of the festival include a flotilla along the Rideau Canal and an 11-day concert series in Major's Hill Park.
