Harrison Tulip Festival

The Harrison Tulip Festival takes place in Agassiz in the Fraser Valley at the same farm as the Harrison Sunflower Festival and Harrison Pumpkin Festival.

The biggest tulip festival in the province returned to its original home outside of Harrison Hot Springs in the spring of 2024 after years away. It ran from April 6th until the first weekend in May. Its dates in 2025 will likely be about the same, depending on the weather and the spring’s growing season.

Season passes for this year are already available online. Visit harrisontulipfest.com for the festival’s official website.

The Harrison Tulip Festival in Agassiz

The Tulips of the Valley festival was founded in 2006 in Agassiz, just outside of Harrison Hot Springs. The festival was both the first of its kind in BC and remained the province’s largest tulip festival in the years that followed. The festival moved to Chilliwack in 2017. It returned to Agassiz last spring. The Onos family has run the festivals the entire time.

The new Harrison Tulip Festival is very similar to the Chilliwack Tulip Festival, just in a different location. The new farm is further from Vancouver, but in an even more beautiful spot! Last year, the festival ran from Saturday, April 6th, until Sunday, May 5th. The festival returns in the spring of 2025.

The move from Chilliwack to the Agassiz-Harrison region a couple years ago came in conjunction with the Chilliwack Sunflower Festival changing its name to the Harrison Sunflower Festival. That festival took place at the Onos family’s new farm in the fall of 2023. Unfortunately, the Harrison Sunflower Festival didn’t happen in 2024 and it likely won’t return in the foreseeable future.

Where & When is the Festival?

The Harrison Tulip Festival’s new home is at 5039 Lougheed Highway in Agassiz. There is free parking at the site which is nice because driving is the only way to get to the festival.

The fields are located just off the highway close to the turn-off for Harrison Hot Springs. It’s about a 30-minute drive from the old Chilliwack Tulip Festival location.

In 2024 the Harrison Tulip Festival was open daily between early April and early May. It was open on weekdays between 10:00 am and 6:30 pm. Hours of operation on Saturdays and Sundays were from 6:00 am until 6:30 pm. (Note: Guests had to arrive by 6:30 pm but were able to stay until 7:30 pm.) 2025 dates and hours are to be confirmed.

What to Expect

The Harrison Tulip Festival features millions of flowers spread across 35 acres or so of land. There are around 50 different varieties of tulips as well as many kinds of daffodils and hyacinths.

New since the farm hosted the Harrison Sunflower Festival and Harrison Pumpkin Festival last fall, there is now a nice grassy area surrounded by gardens for lawn games, picnicking and other activities. There are also great photo opportunities on raised platforms, along with antique items like bicycles and tractors scattered around the property.

Peak season for viewing the flowers is likely between around mid-April and the end of that month. When blooming season concludes, Onos Greenhouses collects all the bulbs and makes use of them within their greenhouses. The bulbs become tulips that are sold to local regions.

Other Events at the Venue

At the same farm in Agassiz in 2023 there was also the Harrison Sunflower Festival in August/September and the Harrison Pumpkin Festival later in the fall. Neither of these events returned in 2024, and they aren’t happening in the foreseeable future either.

When it did take place, the sunflower festival featured close to 15 acres of flowers, primarily sunflowers but also dahlias, zinnias and cosmos.
