Araluen Botanic Park will burst into colour once again from 4 September to 18 October for the annual Yates’ Springtime at Araluen Tulip Festival.
Featuring over 250,000 vibrant tulips in the huge 60-hectare park in the Perth Hills, this year’s event is aiming to be the most magical yet.
The Dolce Ensemble will return to the garden amphitheatre for one special evening, bringing the romance and drama of Bridgerton to life with a symphonic tribute performance.
Weekends during the festival will be buzzing with pop-up cafes and food trucks on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Kids can join in the fun too, with free entry for children under 12, and a packed weekend program with face painting, dancing, train rides, and roving garden-themed games and performances.
The Araluen Heritage trackless train will return for the event, offering scenic 20-minute hop-on, hop-off rides through the grounds, Wednesday to Sunday.
In addition to the tulips, the park will also showcase 70,000 other spring bulbs, a rare international camellia collection, and stunning heritage roses, all in full bloom.
