Skagit Valley Tulip Festival 2016
La Conner is ready for your Skagit Valley Tulip Festival 2016 visit! Not only because all sorts of tulip festival events, art exhibits and happenings (including the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival 2016 Parade), but also because in March we celebrate the La Conner Daffodil Festival.
Because of our warmer than normal winter, the Daffodils started blooming early, and we are expecting the tulips to be at their peak during the Daffodil Festival and into the first two weeks of April!
