Albany Is Blooming With Tulip Fest Activities and Spring Events
There's no such thing as having "tulip" much fun in Albany, especially this spring. In fact, some of the season's top events and activities are happening in early May, from the annual Albany Tulip Festival to Mother's Day Weekend.
Discover the Fun of Albany Tulip Festival
The City of Albany's signature spring event is Albany Tulip Festival, a celebration of the community's rich Dutch heritage, that is held on Mother's Day Weekend. Bring your mom and family to Washington Park to see over 100,000 tulips, a fine arts show, live music, and more.
On May 9, the Thursday before Tulip Fest Weekend, the annual Champagne on the Park will take place near Washington Park's beautiful tulip beds. This popular fundraiser gala for the Lark Street BID will feature champagne, music, and revelry.
Mother's Day Weekend has finally arrived, and hopefully you have plans to make this year's holiday extra special for the moms in your life. Need a little inspiration? Our Mother's Day Guide has info on local brunches, gifts, and more.
