A Corridor Orchard is Hosting a Tulip Festival This Month

If you can't make it out to Pella for their annual Tulip Time Festival this year, there's another Tulip Festival happening a little bit closer to home!

Wilson's Orchard is set to host their first ever Tulip Festival this year at their location at 4823 Dingleberry Rd NE in Iowa City. According to the Facebook page, the big event will take place on Saturday, April 23rd from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Some of the activities set for the 2022 Tulip Festival include tulip picking, crafts for kids, a scavenger hunt, complimentary cider tasting, live music, and even sunset yoga in the tulip field with Hot House Yoga! Admission into the festival is free, but some of the activities may have a small fee to participate.

Wilson's Orchard has planted tulips in the past, but this year they'll have a lot more! A recent Facebook post revealed that they planted more than 60,000 bulbs!
