Skagit Valley Tulip Festival
Springtime is a wonderful time for Mount Vernon, and each tulip season brings new adventure.
The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, April 1-30, has been part of the City of Mount Vernon since the early 1980s. It began as part of the Mount Vernon Chamber of Commerce then branched out to form its own organization. Plan on driving between fields, display gardens and festival events.
