We’d love your help

Each year, the Orange City Tulip Festival reminds us of the incredible spirit of community that makes this tradition possible. From the volunteers who give their time to the supporters who share their resources, it is remarkable to see how our town comes together with commitment, hospitality, and a sense of pride. It is truly a gift to gather and celebrate our cherished Dutch heritage — honoring our history while also looking forward to our future.

We have begun planning for the 2026 Tulip Festival, scheduled for May 14-16, 2026. We kindly ask for your continued support of the Friends of the Festival Foundation. This year’s focus is on expanding the presence of tulips throughout Orange City. We are collaborating with the City of Orange City to add more tulips to existing beds and to create new beds in high-traffic areas, ensuring more beautiful tulip displays for residents and visitors to enjoy each May. Because this effort requires both an investment in bulbs and sustainable funding for ongoing care, your generosity will help create a lasting impact that enhances the viewing experience for years to come.

Please consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift to the Friends of the Festival Foundation to support these projects. With a minimum contribution of $100, you will receive “early access” to purchase and reserve seating for the 2026 Night Show production of Anastasia, starting December 1, 2025.  Public ticket sales begin on January 1, 2026.

Thank you for considering a gift and for your continued support of the Orange City Tulip Festival!
