The Harrison Tulip Festival, located in Agassiz, opens on Tuesday, April 15! This year, Canada’s largest tulip festival farm experience offers 40 breathtaking acres of vibrant blooms, with more than 12 million tulip and double daffodil bulbs planted—featuring more than 100 tulip varieties and 15 double daffodil varieties. Set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Cheam, it’s the perfect place to explore fields of colour and capture picture-perfect, Insta-worthy moments.
Fittingly, the festival was recognized last fall at the annual World Tulip Summit in Holland, earning 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.”
From first bloom, the 2025 festival will run for approximately four weeks, creating endless opportunities for capturing spring photos, memories, and experiences while tiptoeing around the tulips. Unique onsite attractions for photos include a windmill, swing sets, antique tractors and horse carts, vintage bicycles, a 1950s convertible, a 1965 Airstream trailer, raised platforms and more.
With different floral varieties blooming throughout the festival and across the grounds, between ten and 30 acres of flowers are in full bloom at any given time, ensuring there’s always something fresh to enjoy.
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. Colourful new experiences on select dates create multiple reasons to return and capture new memories. These include local musicians playing and roaming among the plantings, yoga in the fields and a bouquet-making workshop.

Behind the annual dazzling display of spring flowers is a proud year-round BC agricultural business and family farm. 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 per cent of the cut tulips that are sold throughout Western Canada.
