Take A Virtual Tour Through A Sea Of Over 40 Acres Of Tulips At The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm In Oregon

Every spring, we eagerly await the Wooden Shoe Farm’s annual Tulip Festival. It’s a favorite community event, and is so amazing that it ranks as one of the best tulip festivals in the entire country! While we were dreaming of the beautiful blooms soon to come, spring of 2020 had other plans. The threat of COVID-19 kept us all in our homes, sheltering in place to protect ourselves and others in the community.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
The annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival is a family tradition for many Oregonians, who eagerly await the brilliant splashes of color that cover the farm's fields.

Concerned about the negative impact a large festival would have on the health and safety of Oregonians, Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm announced on March 19th that its 2020 festival would be cancelled. While the tulips were blooming just as beautiful as ever, we weren't able to enjoy them in person. Though drones flown by members of the public aren't allowed, the farm granted Travel Woodburn access so it could provide everyone with a fly-over tour.

The farm covers 40 acres, and it's all planted with vibrant tulips in many gorgeous hues. From pale yellow to bright red, these tulips herald the arrival of spring, and they never cease to bring us joy.

Normally, we'd stroll down these rows, stopping to take photos and pausing to bask in the beauty of these brilliant blooms.
Don't worry - all those stunning tulips did not go to waste. Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm sent hundreds of potted tulips to more than 80 independent living, assisted living, and memory care centers, bringing a bright splash of spring to hundreds of residents.

We can't wait for Tulip Festival 2021! While we're so sad to have missed attending this year, we're certain that the strength of our community and its willingness to keep each other safe and healthy will mean that we can enjoy this wonderful festival tradition for years to come.

If you’ve lived in Oregon very long, you’ve undoubtedly attended this festival in years past. We’d love to see your photos from previous visits in the comments!
