The Noordoostpolder is the largest tulip region in the Netherlands. In spring, 2,000 hectares of tulips come into bloom, transforming the landscape into a beautiful, colourful whole. Every year, a Tulip Festival is organised so that you can enjoy this spectacle, so come and admire and photograph our tulips.
Both a cycle route and a car route are mapped out and published, taking you past the tulip fields, which change every year. If you follow these routes, you are guaranteed to pass the most beautiful tulip fields. You can find the car and cycle routes on the Tulip Festival website.
Please note: the Tulip Festival 2026 is provisionally scheduled for 17 April to 3 May, but these dates may change in the run-up to the Tulip Festival depending on weather conditions and the associated growth and flowering of the tulips.

Many of the tulip fields are located along the main road and are owned by local farmers. You are not allowed to enter these fields. Admire the tulips in these fields from a distance. In the Tulip Experience Field in Creil, the Tulip Variety Garden in Espel and the Tulip Picking Garden in Marknesse, you are welcome to walk through the rows of different types, shapes and colours of tulips to your heart's content and take close-ups and selfies.
