What to Expect at Tulip Valley Farms During Daffodil Season

March marks the beginning of spring in Skagit Valley, and Tulip Valley Farms creates a daffodil experience unlike anywhere else in the region. While most daffodil fields are commercial production fields viewed from the road, Tulip Valley Farms invites visitors to park on-site, walk through the rows, and experience daffodils up close.

The atmosphere during the Daffodil Festival is calm, fresh, and unhurried. Guests can explore the fields at their own pace, enjoy the first blooms of the season, and take in wide-open space designed for wandering, photos, and hands-on engagement.

When to Visit During the Daffodil Festival

The La Conner Daffodil Festival runs throughout March, with bloom timing influenced by temperature and weather. Daffodils bloom earlier than tulips and are often the first sign of spring in the valley.
Visiting earlier in the month offers a quieter experience, while later March dates often bring more blooms and slightly warmer weather. Tulip Valley Farms shares regular bloom updates on social media to help guests plan their visit.

What to Wear and Bring in March

Early spring weather in the Pacific Northwest can be cool, breezy, and unpredictable. We recommend:

  • Dressing in layers
  • Wearing comfortable, sturdy footwear
  • Bringing a waterproof jacket or umbrella (wind-dependent)
  • Paying with credit card or online payment - we are cashless!

While the grass paths mean less mud than many neighboring farms, Tulip Valley Farms is still an outdoor experience and appropriate footwear is important!

Tulip Valley Farms features wide, grass pathways and open layouts that make it easier to navigate with strollers and for guests who prefer a slower-paced experience.

The farm is primarily outdoors, with uneven ground in some areas, so comfortable footwear is recommended. If you have specific accessibility questions, we encourage you to reach out before your visit.
