Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is extended to May 4 because of late bloom of flower fields near Mount Vernon
PREV
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has been extended through Sunday, May 4, because of the late bloom in the flower fields near Mount Vernon caused by the cold spring.
The festival had been scheduled to end Wednesday.
The festival's director, Cindy Verge, said there are still acres of blooming tulips and a few spots where tulips have yet to bloom.
Visitors can get a map with driving directions at the tulip festival Web site, www.tulipfestival.org, plus details on events that will run through the weekend. Or get more information from the tulip-festival office at 360-428-5959.
Clipper Navigation also will run an extra motorcoach tour on Saturday, www.clippervacations.com/events/skagittulipsfestival
