Plan Your Spring Getaway 2017!

spring getaway 2017Because there is so much to see and do during the Daffodil Festival and the Tulip Festival, we recommend that you plan ahead and make reservations at one of La Conner’s lodging establishments. You’ll be centrally located and within a few minutes of all of the daffodil fields and display gardens, plus you’ll be able to enjoy a visit to our waterfront village, shop in our many specialty stores and dine at one of our amazing restaurants.

Come visit us – we promise that you’ll absolutely love La Conner in March and April!

Call or stop by the La Conner Visitor’s Center where you’ll find lots of information – including brochures and maps. 413 Morris St. in La Conner; 360/466-4778.  E-Mail: info@laconnerchamber.com
