The 58th Albany Tulip Festival May 11, 2006

One of Albany?s oldest and most highly anticipated events is the annual Tulip Festival set in Albany?s beautiful historic Washington Park. Each year, this traditional Albany event greets spring with thousands of tulips blooming in a myriad of colors and varieties. Thousands from across the Capital District Region and beyond come to Tulip Fest each May to celebrate Albany?s rich Dutch heritage. Tulip Fest features entertainment on 3 stages. The KidZone features crafts and family fun entertainment, and Sunday is the perfect way to celebrate Mother's Day. The highlight of the festival is the crowning of the 2006 Albany Tulip Queen on Saturday at noon. Don't miss the over 100 crafters, the fine arts show, Gardening Talks or the vast array of food vendors
