ALBANY, N.Y. – The 60th annual Tulip Festival in Washington Park is just one week away and it seems like some tulips this year are blooming early. The early blooms are causing many to fear there won’t be enough flowers for the celebration.
But Albany’s head gardener, Judy Stacey, said that’s not the case as there are currently about 208,000 tulips planted in Washington Park. The early bloom is caused by the erratic weather conditions but Stacey said there are plenty of good things to expect from the festival.

“Fabulous showing of tulips. The early tulips will have gone by then. There will be many thousands of tulips that have yet to bloom so it’s an ever changing show,” Stacey said.
The Tulip Festival takes place next Friday through Sunday at Washington Park.
