One of the most anticipated events of the spring season for Washingtonians is almost here!
The iconic Festival of Spring at Burnside Farm is set to launch its first round of tickets next week for its highly popular spring flower festival, which consistently sells out year after year!
The famous flower festival comes to the DMV area every spring, but the exact dates always change depending on the weather, so the tulip and daffodil fields can grow and reach peak bloom at their own pace.
Burnside Farms is known for its roughly 2 million tulips and hundreds of thousands of daffodils that you can wander through and pick on your own!
The farm has over 200 varieties of tulips and more than 30 varieties of daffodils, ensuring a fun experience and the chance to create a truly unique bouquet to take home with you when you’re done.
When are tickets to Burnside Farms’ Festival of Spring going on sale?
As a result of the recent cold weather, the ticket launch has been pushed back to the morning of March 24th.Burnside Farms does sell a ‘passport’ that provides unlimited access to both their ‘Festival of Spring’ and their ‘Summer of Sunflowers’, but those have unfortunately already sold out.
How much are tickets going to cost?
Ticket prices will depend on whether you opt for weekday or weekend admission, but you could also opt for ‘Early Bird / Sunset’ admission if you’re hoping for a special experience.
- Weekday Day Admission – $19.50
- Weekend Day Admission – $22
- Early Bird / Sunset Admission – $23 – $25
There is also a set amount of day-of tickets that are sold each day, starting at 6 am, so if you were unable to purchase tickets for the date of your choice initially, there’s still a chance you can get day-of tickets with an early wakeup and a bit of luck.

- Early Bird / Sunset Day-of Admission – $29 – $31
When is Burnside Farms’ Festival of Spring going to be?
Unfortunately, Burnside Farms has not yet shared any official dates for their Festival of Spring event.
They have produced a few field reports suggesting that the flowers are developing well and that they are aiming for a late March start for the festival, but that will likely be confirmed in the coming weeks.
