Practical Information
Fête de la Tulipe, du 27 mars au 10 mai 2026 à Morges
The Parc de l'Indépendance, the lakeside promenades, and the flower gardens are freely accessible and free of charge, as they are public parks.
The Tulip Festival is organized by a non-profit association. In order to continue offering this floral event completely free to the public, the association self-finances a large part of the event through sponsorship, flower bed sponsorships, bulb sales, activities, and donations.
The flowering naturally depends on weather conditions. Peak bloom is generally expected around mid-April. Some tulips bloom earlier, others later, thus offering staggered flowering throughout the event.
An information point will be available in the park during the Festival to answer your questions and for the purchase of souvenirs.
