The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival's closing date is extended to May 4 at three farms: Tulip Town, Tulip Valley Farms, and Garden Rosalyn. Owner Rachael Sparwasser expresses joy in prolonging the season, stating, "We couldn’t resist letting spring linger just a bit longer. " Roozengaarde remains open year-round, while Skagit Acres has closed for the season. The festival's final weekend promises sunny weather with a forecasted high of 62 degrees on Sunday. This extension allows more visitors to enjoy the colorful blooms, which are still vibrant and inviting.

The tulip farms significantly contribute to local tourism, drawing visitors from various regions and enhancing the community's economy.
