Happy
50th Birthday to Tesselaar Tulip Festival!

Thursday
September
16 to Wednesday October 13
Each year thousands upon thousands of people flock
to the Tesselaar Tulip Festival in Silvan, but when
Cees Tesselaar began growing Tulips few people in Australia
knew what a Tulip looked like.
People would come from miles away to admire Tesselaar’s
fields of Tulips (jumping the fence to get a closer
look).In
1954 Cees decided to open the farm to the public and
the first Tulip Festival was born. In the early days
visitors were charged a small entry fee that was donated
to the Red Cross. Since then the Tulip Festival has
raised over seventy thousand dollars for the Red Cross
and other charity organisations.
