I went to the TASC Tulip Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake yesterday. It was vast with more than 3 million blooms of 175 varieties on 55 acres. It is a "farm" rather than a "festival". Watch where you step in the clay paths as they are bumpy. Their farm previously was in Fenwick so you can imagine that they are likely doubling the number of visitors being in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
There were likely a thousand people there yesterday - and that was on a Monday.
What distinguishes a tourist destination like this is that it is full of families - quite often 3 generations together. Everyone is smiling.
Flower events are perfect for our difficult political and social times.
I'll get to the Seventh and Fourth Avenue field this week - and then the tulips will all be over. Fleeting, don't you think?
