Springtime Festivals in the U.S.


Now that spring is in full bloom it's time to take advantage of what it has to offer. Flower festivals are a great way to enjoy nature and participate in social activities with the community. Many people travel from faraway places to see the beauty of the grand floral affair. Almost every state has their own flower festival, but there are a few in the country that really stand out. Just think of acres and acres of tulips and you will think you've died and gone to heaven.


 

Holland, Michigan
It's only fitting that you have a flower festival in Holland, Michigan. Paying homage to the Dutch heritage in this small town they started planting thousands of tulips since 1929. Locals will dress in Dutch costumes and perform a traditional folk dance from the Netherlands. You will feel like you left the country and traveled to the 19th century Netherlands with traditional food, crafts, and shopping. It'll convince you to want to come celebrate every year.


Skagit Valley, Washington
A month long celebration in the beautiful Pacific Northwest makes this flower festival a favorite among thousands of Americans. The whole area is alive when visitors come into town to see the beautiful array of tulips, daffodils, and irises. Right next to the ocean, the scenery will take your breath away.


Epcot Center, Disneyworld, Florida
Disneyland may be the happiest place on earth so might as well add on flowers to fulfill all your heart's desires. Expect to find topiaries formed out of Disney characters, concerts with music from classic popular bands, and of course characters walking around to greet kids in different themed gardens. Just remember, a way to win a kid's heart is Disney.


Biltmore Estate, North Carolina
Biltmore is famous as America's Largest Home, but did you know it's also famous for the beautiful surrounding grounds? This grand estate has rich American history tied with the Vanderbilt family. As you take a tour of the beautiful house and grounds, don't forget to plan a picnic that will be perfect for a spring day. Now, just imagine yourself as a Vanderbilt enjoying your gardens with colorful blooms for your leisurely pleasure.


Best Western will proudly host your stay in your floral adventures across the nation. It's a perfect location for families and friends to gather and celebrate nature's bounty in color blooms.
