Harrison Tulip Festival – World’s Best!
Last fall at the annual World Tulip Summit in the Netherlands, Harrison Tulip Festival earned the World Tulip Award for “Best Instagrammable Tulip Farm”. In presenting the award, Ibo Gülsen, chair of the World Tulip Society noted: “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.”

New additions and enhancements to this year’s festival include the expanded and refreshed Farm Store which has more tulip-inspired items than ever, including fresh-cut and take-home potted tulips, locally made tulip-themed cookies and chocolates, plus unique items from Holland. Several new flower-themed picnic tables make the ideal spots for enjoying food-truck fare. A working waterwheel, crafted by local woodworkers, now graces the tranquil “secret garden”—a show garden beside the main field, now twice its original size. Four acres of colourful spring blooms flourish among mature fruit and nut trees, flowering shrubs, and grassy pathways.
To enrich your visit, storyboards have been erected around the farm offering a glimpse into the history of the tulip festival and the Onos family’s greenhouse operations—from growing bulbs on their farm to harvesting cut flowers in their greenhouses.

Onos Greenhouses grows the tulips on the Agassiz field that becomes the annual festival grounds and, post-festival, collects and uses the Canadian grown bulbs in its greenhouse operation. Onos Greenhouses currently supplies 85 percent of the cut tulips that are sold throughout Western Canada.
