Tulip Fairy and Elf Festival

TBD| PEARL STREET MALL
Spring officially arrives in Downtown Boulder when the vibrant Tulip Fairy, along with pint-sized fairies and elves, parade around the Pearl Street Mall ‘welcoming the tulips’. This beloved springtime tradition features special events and activities for girls and boys and celebrate the more than 15,000 tulips that adorn the world renowned Pearl Street Mall throughout the spring season. The event includes live stage performances, face painting, free activities for children and more!
Our thoughts are with all those who have been impacted in one way or another by COVID-19. Of utmost importance is the health and safety of you, friends, family, co-workers, and the communities in which we live, work and visit.
As we look to our 2021 events season, we will be strictly following the guidelines of our partners at the City of Boulder and Boulder County Public Health to determine the safest course of action. While we hope this will include limited in-person events for our community, we are prepared to continue postponing our events should it continue to be deemed unsafe for large groups to gather.
We plan to offer some virtual and socially distant activities for families and children for our Tulip Fairy & Elf celebration this year for the entire month of April. Please check back for additional details!



The Pearl Street Mall is always full of excitement but this last weekend in April is a particularly beautiful time to head to Boulder and enjoy. The banks of tulips are in full bloom with fairies of all shapes and sizes flitting through the tulips.
Don’t forget: On Saturdays and Sundays year round, parking is FREE in City of Boulder garage! Click here for more info
