Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is the largest tulip festival in the USA by acreage of tulips, number of farms, and days of blooms. The Tulip Festival features fields of tulips, display gardens, experiences, and events annually in April.
Skagit Valley Tulip Festival features four farms: RoozenGaarde, Tulip Town, Tulip Valley Farms, and Garden Rosalyn. Historically, the tulip was a symbol of paradise on earth. We welcome you to our modern-day paradise on earth, the Magic Skagit Valley, where millions of tulips burst into bloom in April during the 41st Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival!

Check out the daffodils, tulips and irises in the spring by driving throughout the Skagit Valley, around Mt. Vernon and La Conner. Travel to Bellingham via the senic route – highway 11 (Chuckanut Drive), which follows the coast starting just north of Burlington, all the way into downtown Bellingham.
We don’t sell wine,
but our neighbors do!
We love working with Skagit Cellars to help promote and calibrate your business and events with wine for our Afte-Hour events?
Our across-the-hall neighbor, Skagit Cellars, also has live music. We’re going to make sure we don’t have the same type of music on the same weekends. When weather and act types permit, we’ll have the doors in the breezeway open so that people can go back and forth…buy wine at Skagit Cellars or a dessert latte or chocolates or pastries at Raven’s Cup, and enjoy the best of both restaurants’ art and food/beverages at the same time.
La Conner Artist
Alex Kargopoltsev
Located in the gallery next door, allows us to show some of his art. He’s out of the gallery painting fairly often, so it gives us an opportunity to show work by one of La Conner’s premier artists and it gives him the opportunity to attract people to his work when he is out working.
Alex grew up in the Soviet Union and moved to the US about 30 years ago. He uses his classical training to produce a broad range of paintings, including landscapes, still lifes and portraits with remarkable detail and light. He is also one of the few remaining classically trained cubists.
