The beauty, splendor and history of the Canadian Tulip Festival will stretch from Dow’s Lake and Commisoner’s Park, all the way along the Rideau Canal downtown to the ByWard Market, and Lansdowne Park is right in the centre of the action.

Lansdowne’s historic Aberdeen Pavilion will be the place to experience international tulip art, photography and floral installations, onsite workshops, special film screenings, cultural displays, international stage performances as well as children’s activities.
