Thank you for your support of the Sixth Annual Woodburn Tulip Festival, March 20 to April
23, 2001. We hope you enjoyed your visit to Woodburn. And if you missed us this year, we
hope you'll put Woodburn on your calendar for next year ... we're already busy planning
events for the 2002 Tulip Festival!
In fact, new
events are already on the calendar. As the 2002 season approaches, check back for news
about the first-ever Woodburn Tulip Festival Parade, Funtastic carnivals, arts and crafts
shows and more.
More than 100,000 people from all over Oregon and Washington joined us us in
welcoming Spring to the Willamette Valley as more than 40 acres of tulips come into bloom
at the Wooden Shoe Bulb Company east of Woodburn. Yes, the weather was a little cold and
rainy -- as spring in Oregon often is -- but the tulips didn't seem to mind.
Plan to attend our 2002
Woodburn Tulip Festival
You are invited to take a leisurely stroll through the fields, where you can sample
regional wines and microbrews, enjoy live entertainment, learn about agriculture and buy
flowers and bulbs to take home.
Bring your camera and capture the majestic view of
Mount Hood.
And on your way home, visit the City of Woodburn, home of Woodburn Company Stores, one of
the Northwest's biggest outlet malls.
