(!) New rule in effect. I will be checking registrants name and profile photo to ensure they can be traced. A proper profile includes a recognizable first name and a clearly identifiable photo (without the need of magnification).

Commissioners Park – home to the highest concentration of tulips in Ottawa – is truly tulip heaven! Over 250,000 tulips in dozens of different varieties bloom in large flower beds along a one-kilometre long pathway. The park is located along the picturesque Dows Lake section of the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that winds its way through downtown Ottawa. Among the flower beds, look out for this year’s official tulip: yellow Darwin Hybrids World Friendship Tulips.
During the festival, Commissioners Park is also home to special programming, walking and biking tours, artists, a tulip boutique, as well as the Tulip Legacy Plaza which recounts the festival’s fascinating history.
Walk along the nearby Dows Lake Pavilion Tulip Boardwalk and relax among tulips in special seating areas.
To maximize your tulip enjoyment, follow the Tulip Trail between Commissioners Park and Lansdowne. This 20-minute stroll takes you by beautiful residential and city gardens, with interpretation markers, animation and entertainment along the way.
