Tulip Festival


  • Washington Park Playground Area Washington Park and 1 New Scotland Avenue Albany, NY, 12208 United States (map)

We will be tabling this wonderful event to spread awareness to the community about our programs, upcoming events, and to sell our lovely crystals, smudge sticks, t-shirts, tote bags, and crystal jewelry.

Look out for us! We will be located near the Washington Park Playground. =)

The Tulip Festival is Albany’s signature spring event. Featuring annual traditions rooted in the city’s rich Dutch heritage, nearly one hundred artisans selling their handmade crafts, a fine arts show, delicious food, the KidZone family fun destination, two stages of world-class live entertainment and more than 140,000 tulips in 150 different varieties, the Tulip Festival is a sparkling showcase of local culture and business. It all takes place in historic Washington Park, the 81-acre “crown jewel” of the City.
