The 50th anniversary celebrations of the Fête de la tulipe in Morges did not exactly go to plan even though the weather was sublime.

The website hosts five beautiful short videos in case you were not able to visit in person.

The organizers will go ahead with their annual bulb sale on Tuesday, 12 May and Wednesday, 13 May from 10h-17h. https://www.morges-tourisme.ch/en/P29597/program?group=2111

The traditional sale of bulbs for the Tulip Festival will still take place. However, it is organized differently in view of the situation related to the coronavirus. In order to maximize attendance, it will take place over two days, Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th May, from 10am to 5pm at the "Parc de l'Indépendance".

Contrary to previous years, the sale will take the form of "surprise tulips bag" made up of different bulbs. Why surprise? Because by planting them this autumn, the surprise will bloom in spring 2021 and will certainly be magnificent. It will not be possible to choose your own bulbs for safety reasons, as the park will be completely closed to visitors.

The sale is organised in two ways: a drive-in car tour and a walk-in tour. Distances and safety standards will of course be applied and respected.

The minimum amount is CHF 10.- for a surprise bag, however the support given to the "Morges Fleur du Léman association" will enable it to ensure a future for the Tulip Festival. It will be possible to pay by Twint or in cash (exact amount).
