For the past thirty-nine years, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival has been one of the top spring attractions in the state of Oregon. This year, from March 17^th through April 30th, thousands of visitors will flock to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, OR to experience the beauty of acres upon acres (forty to be exact!) of gorgeous blooms. They will spend hours wandering through the fields, taking pictures, while oohing and aahing over the palette of brilliant colors from the over one hundred varieties of tulips on display.
