Flowers make people smile! Tulip Day San Francisco welcomed 30K+ visitors to Union Square, picking 80,000 Dutch-American tulips for free. Some people arrived at 6 a.m. to be first in line. In six years, Tulip Day has become a flagship event for San Francisco.
The 80,000 tulips come from Sun Valley Floral Farms in Arcadia, six hours north of San Francisco. They are grown from Dutch bulbs, like most of the tulips in the United States. Dutch traders export flower bulbs to more than 100 countries worldwide, but the US is the No. 1 market with half a billion bulbs annually.
Thank you to our partners: Union Square Alliance (Business Improvement District), City and County of San Francisco, Royal Anthos and all the volunteers
