Free Tulip Day Returns to NYC's Union Square This Spring

170,000 tulips are coming to NYC! Find out when and where to get your free bouquet.🌷

by New York Bucket List

 

This spring, Union Square will be transformed into a floral wonderland with over 170,000 colorful tulips. Tulip Day, a longstanding tradition in San Francisco's Union Square, is crossing coasts for the second time this year. Visitors to the event can create their own bouquet of tulips to take home—and it's all free!

The one-day-only event will kick off on Sunday, March 30th, and run from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm at Union Square. Attendees can select up to ten tulips to make a bouquet and take with them. Advance reservations can be made starting in March, and spots are expected to fill up fast. Limited walk-ins will be accommodated on the day of the event on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission is free, along with the tulips you take with you.

Tulip Day is part of FUTURE 400, an initiative of the Netherlands Consulate General of New York that aims to honor 400 years of Dutch-New York history with honesty and integrity. The tulips filling Union Square this spring are grown in America from flower bulbs imported from Europe.
