What better way to celebrate the beginning of spring than by walking through 40 acres of gorgeous, colorful tulips. The 2019 Annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival runs from March 23 through April 29 in Woodburn, Oregon.
Bring your family, your dog (on a leash), and your camera for a fun day-trip. The fields are less busy during the week but there are extra activities happening on the weekend.
