Detailed Information
The Nova Scotia Tulip Festival marked a colourful milestone for the province in Spring 2026 as RiverBreeze Farm in Upper Onslow launched the very first tulip festival in Nova Scotia history. With over 200,000 tulips planted across two sprawling fields in a breathtaking mix of colours, the festival quickly became a social media sensation, drawing overflow crowds from across the Maritimes. Visitors could stroll through vibrant rows of blooms, hand-pick their own bouquets to take home, capture stunning family photos among the flowers, and enjoy farm-fresh treats including spiked lemonade flights for adults. The festival was covered by CTV News and SaltWire, confirming its status as a significant new event on Nova Scotia's spring calendar. Dates vary by bloom each spring - typically mid-May to early June - and the farm recommends checking their Facebook page for the latest updates before visiting.
