Tulip Festival Street Fair
The Tulip Festival Street Fair has brought together artists, locals and visitors for a weekend of creativity in downtown Mount Vernon since 1984. The fair takes place just steps from the Skagit River and the vivid tulip fields beyond. This beloved event has grown into one of the largest open-air art fairs in Northwest Washington.
Nearly 200 artisan vendors fill South First Street each spring. You’ll find everything from hand-thrown ceramics and garden sculptures to wearable art, woodwork, jewelry and décor. Food trucks, live music and kid-friendly fun round out the experience, all framed by the charm of historic downtown.
