Annual Tulip Extravaganza
The Annual Tulip Extravaganza is in full bloom in downtown Hendersonville!
“It’s been a challenging year, but spring is upon us, which means downtown will soon be in full bloom,” said Barbara Hughes, owner of Narnia Studios and sponsor of the annual Tulip Extravaganza.
The event generally runs late March – April 30, including Easter (April 20) and Passover (April 12-20) this year. Downtown merchants are hoping residents will bring their out-of-town guests for a month of colorful shopping and dining.
Businesses will also have unique ways to welcome the crowds and spring!
“Many businesses will have tulip-themed displays in their windows as well as offering their spring specials, including sidewalk sales April 11-12,” said Hughes, who, as a florist, created the celebration and subsequent tulip photo contest.
Residents can enter their best tulip photos in the contest at Narnia Studios! Photos must be taken in downtown Hendersonville, and the deadline to enter is April 25.
Winners will be announced April 29!
Hughes has been in love with flowers for as long as she can remember. She is still surrounded by blooms, as 8,000-10,000 tulips brighten the planters on Main Street when spring arrives.
