Tulip Parade and KidZone

The Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival Parade has been a beloved tradition in La Conner for decades. As one of the festival’s signature events, the parade offers a joyful, locally rooted showcase of community and creative spirit.

Since its earliest years, the parade has embodied La Conner’s small-town charm, with neighbors, families, and local groups coming together to celebrate spring in Skagit County.

A stroll down First Street turns into a front-row seat to local pride, tradition, and seasonal delight.

Start your morning at the lively KidZone, where children enjoy hands-on activities, games and face painting before the parade. Then, settle along the parade route for a display of marching bands, community groups, classic cars and colorful tulip-themed fun.

Afterward, explore La Conner’s picturesque waterfront, browse its galleries and boutique shops, and relax in its inviting cafés and restaurants.
