The Festival of Spring

Season: 2024 season closed

2024 Dates: march 24th-April 17th.

Location: Burnside farms - 11008 kettle run rd. Nokesville, va 20181

We’ve been welcoming guests to our Festival of Spring every year since 2012, making it one of the longest-running spring festivals of its kind in North America!

We plant more than 150 varieties of tulips and 30+ varieties of daffodils for one of the most spectacular pick-your-own events of spring!

It’s like Holland in Virginia.

Our spring season only lasts about 3 weeks and exact timing is very hard to predict as these flowers bloom according to the spring weather patterns and Mother Nature is in charge of that. Check the field report page, announcement bar at the top of this website OR our Facebook or Instagram for information and updates about our spring schedule.
