A full-time and part-time staff of nearly 50 people prepare the
55-acre Ashton Gardens to host the Tulip Festival. Thanksgiving
Point relies on traditional and digital advertising as well as word-of-
mouth to promote the event each year.
At the end of each festival, the public can purchase the tulips and
plant them in their own gardens.
"The hope is that visitors will create their own mini-tulip
Festivals in yards across Utah and beyond," Berndt said.
Admission to the festival includes other activities. The Utah
Swing Orchestra will lead swing dancers on April 26, and the
American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic will close off the festival
with a Star Wars-themed concert on May 4. Activities for children
are held throughout each week of the festival. More information
about times can be found on thanksgivingpoint.org.
The Tulip Festival 5K takes place April 27, with a separate reg-
istration fee. There will also be food trucks, educational activities
and concerts on weekends throughout the event. The festival is
closed Sundays.
Ticket are available now and are time ticketed this year. General
admission to the festival is $20 for adults and $15 for children 3 to
12 and seniors. Children 2 and under get in free.
