50th tulip festival - 20th march to 10th may 2020
Created to mark the 50th anniversary of the Vaud Horticultural Society in 1971, the Tulip Festival continues to delight the 100,000 annual visitors from Switzerland and abroad.
The festival takes place from late March to mid-May in the Parc de l'Indépendance, located on the shores of Lake Geneva, between the Château de Morges and the river La Morges. The Parc de l'Indépendance offers, in all seasons, a magnificent green setting and presents 50 varieties of trees such as impressive chestnut trees dating from 1750 or giant sequoias. It is only a few metres from the historic city centre, the landing stage, restaurants and shops.

Tulips from April to mid-May, the Iris Gardens of Vullierens Castle from mid-May to mid-June, dahlias from July to October, Morges and its region pay homage to flowers. It will be a pleasure to show you these different places.
In the months following the Tulip Festival, the Gardens of Vullierens Castle present a fabulous collection of irises and lilies and the Quays of Morges a unique exhibition and sale of dahlias.
Let yourself be amazed by a visit to the Arboretum of the Vallon de l'Aubonne, a botanical garden on nearly 200 hectares of forests and meadows. Many collections, often spectacular in bloom, such as magnolias, dogwoods, hydrangeas or autumn colours in maples, will not leave you indifferent.
