A Flavorful Drink and a Celebration of Spring

We’re all more than ready for springtime this year. Fidalgo Coffee Roaster’s delicious, flavorful coffee sustained us through the cold months. But now it’s time to put the frigid weather behind us and wade through drifts of vibrantly hued tulips, as we sip a java made just for spring.

The 2022 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has begun. It’s a wonderful seasonal celebration that takes place each year in and around the towns of Whitney, Fredonia, Mount Vernon, Burlington, Avon, and Skagit City, in the state of Washington. Locals love the festival and many visitors from across the continent make a trek to see the tulips an annual springtime ritual.

Our gourmet coffee company has established a related tradition. To do our part in support of the continuation of our home state’s tulip festival, we created a lovely, delectably flavored namesake drink, Fidalgo Coffee’s Tulip Festival Blend. With each purchase, a portion of the proceeds from sales of our Tulip Festival Blend is donated to the non-profit festival’s operational fund.

Life doesn’t get much better than sipping specially blended coffee while feasting one’s eyes on masses of spring flowers. When you come to Washington for the Tulip Festival, remember to stop by Fidalgo Coffee Roasters and pick up an artist-designed package of Tulip Festival blend to share with friends. 

About the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival

Though tulips don’t always bloom on schedule, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival always runs from April 1st to April 30. The official website’s blog notes there should be blooms beginning by April 1 in 2022.  More varieties continue to debut throughout the month.

The festival has no central location. Scenic drives past the region’s expansive tulip fields are free. But there are brochures, maps, tours, and special events at local businesses to help you plan your trip and enjoy the celebration.
