Commemorating the end of World War 2, the Canadian Tulip Festival is a sign of peace that offers a great time for all in the area. From parties and parades to a magnificent concert series, the events throughout the month long celebration will be extremely festive and varied. And, of course, what would the Canadian Tulip Festival be without an astonishing display of Tulips throughout the beautiful city of Ottawa. This May find time to make it to Ottawa for at least a portion of the Canadian Tulip Festival.
