What's on today

The Tesselaar Tulip Festival 2016 dates are September 8th to October 4th, we look forward to welcoming you in 2016! 

Tulips down under … 

There is plenty of fun in store at the 63rd Tesselaar Tulip Festival. Visitors will be amazed by the beauty of a million Tulips across 25 acres of farmland, all set in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges.

Since 1954, we have striven to create a bigger and better festival every year, so everyone can come and enjoy the wonderful Tulips. In 2016 we have planted over 100 000 more Tulips than ever before, including over 150 varieties, to fit them all in we have had to expand our grounds!

 

 

There really is something for everyone, from children to grandparents and everyone in between!

The Tulips are undoubtedly the stars of the show at the Tesselaar Tulip Farm but you will discover so much more with live entertainment, market stalls and tempting foods on offer every day.

Close to Melbourne, through the enchanted forests of Mount Dandenong, is where you will find the spectacular Tesselaar Tulip Festival, in the town of Silvan. It is a great place to visit, so gather your family, and friends together for a fabulous day out among the Tulips.
