Tulip Time

Overview

The event that floods Instagram feeds with thousands of vibrant flowers has returned to the Southern Highlands. Now in its 58th year, the annual Tulip Time festival features over a 115,000 tulips planted throughout Bowral's Corbett Gardens and the surrounding Shire.

If the stunning sight of a tens of thousands of the bulbous flowers isn't quite enough for you, you'll be happy to know there's heaps of stuff happening at the garden throughout the two weeks, which is located a 90-minute drive southwest of Sydney.

For the food enthusiastic, we would highly recommend pencilling in a visit to the Festival Marketplace. Here, you'll find a selection of fresh food from area — including hot mini doughnuts, artisanal ice cream and woodfired pizzas — among potted tulips to take home. If you'd really like to get into the festive spirit, you can also head along to the Tulip Time Street Parade, which is heading down Bowral's Bong Bong Street at 2.30pm on Saturday, September 22.
