Tulip Time
Flower fiends, your time is approaching. As spring beckons in the Southern Highlands, the charming Corbett Gardens will transform into a tulip-adorned wonderland – with Tulip Time Festival showcasing a breathtaking display of 80,000 hand-planted tulips in a dreamy garden in the heart of Bowral.
The flower-themed festival will run from Friday, September 12 until Monday, October 6 – with so much more than just tulip-based delights on offer. Alongside the tulip displays (80,000 of the beautiful colourful plants will be lighting up the gardens), guests can expect market stalls, daily entertainment and delicious foodie options.
Back for its 65th year, Tulip Time Festival will welcome guests between 9.30am and 4.30pm every Sunday to Friday, and until 6pm on Saturdays – giving you plenty of time to stroll among the flowers and find a spot to set up a picnic in the gardens.A visit to Tulip Time Festival is the perfect excuse to explore the rest of what the region has to offer, with the Southern Highlands home to some of the most beautiful gardens, quaint towns and adorable cellar doors in NSW.
Tulip Time Festival tickets for adults cost $18.50 when booked online ($20 at the gate), with youth and concession tickets costing $12.50 when booked online and $13.50 at the gate. Carers and kids under 12 visit for free. You can learn more and book your tickets over here, but if you rock up on the day, you should be able to score a ticket at the gate (card payments only).
