From March 28 to May 11, Morges hosted this magnificent event, attracting thousands of visitors and showcasing over 140,000 tulips across approximately 350 varieties.
This edition was a true celebration of floral beauty and nature, set in an exceptional location at the heart of our beautiful region.
The Tulip Festival takes place from late March to early May. Blooming depends heavily on weather conditions, but the peak is generally expected around mid-April! We strongly recommend large groups to plan their visit during this period, preferably on weekdays.
The event is held in the beautiful Parc de l’Indépendance, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Throughout the entire Festival, a varied program complements the tulip experience with activities related to the edition’s theme. Workshops, guided tours, exhibitions, and concerts are offered every week for visitors of all ages.
The complete schedule of activities and workshops will be available at the beginning of 2026.
The Tulip Festival is also a special time to enjoy with your family! Activities and workshops specially designed for children are offered throughout the event.
Save the date for the big bulb sale: Tuesday, May 12, 2026. A great opportunity to take home your favorite varieties and plant them yourself.
However, the Tulip Festival is organized by the non-profit association Morges Fleur du Léman. Donations are welcome and can be placed in the collection boxes provided to support this beautiful initiative.
The entire site is accessible to people with reduced mobility. Three accessible restroom facilities are located on each side of the Parc de l’Indépendance. Reserved parking spaces are available near the swimming pool. The quays leading to Parc de Vertou are also barrier-free, and several restaurants are accessible for your comfort.
Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash.
Several food stalls are present every year in the Parc de l’Indépendance, offering regional products and highlighting local flavors.
The information desk and the Morges Fleur du Léman shop are available in the Parc de l’Indépendance throughout the festival. Feel free to stop by for information or to purchase souvenirs from the event!

The "Morges Fleur du Léman" NPO organization was founded in 2012. It organizes the annual Tulip Festival and Dahlia Festival. The organization receives a subsidy from the City of Morges and support from the Office of Parks and Promenades.
However, it must fund 80% of the floral event budget through its own revenues, including sponsorship, flower bed sponsorships, bulb and tuber sales, activities, support dinners, raffles, promotional items, and donations, in order to continue offering these floral displays for free. A volunteer committee oversees the organization, supported by a project manager, an event assistant (equivalent to 110%), and more than 80 volunteers. The organization also hosts a dozen private members who meet annually during the General Assembly in June.
