The Canadian tulip festival is going with an international flair this year, featuring Dutch Tulips, British rock and Bollywood style events.
The theme for the year was unveiled as “Kaleidoscope” at an NAC news conference Monday. And will feature the usual tulips from the Netherlands, a Beatles tribute and a “Bollywood in the park” event as well as the return of the International Pavilion.
The 59th annual festival will kick off May 6th with the return of the gala tulip ball at the new Ottawa convention centre. It will run through May 23rd at two locations: Major’s hill park and Commissioners Park near Dows Lake.
