LEWES — The Lewes Chamber of Commerce’s 12th annual Lewes Tulip Celebration, in partnership with Lewes in Bloom, will run April -11. This year, Lewes in Bloom funded the purchase of 24,210 tulip and 4,000 spring bulbs that were planted in fall 2020 by 50 members of Lewes in Bloom over a period of 400 volunteer hours.

The protocols that are being implemented this year include mandatory face coverings and social distancing when visiting the public gardens where the tulips are planted. Tiptoe To The Tulips Trolley Tours will not be available this year.

The event organizers created the Tiptoe To The Tulips Map that is available at the Lewes Chamber of Commerce’s Visitor Center located in the historic Fisher-Martin House in Zwaanendael Park. The visitor center is open Monday–Friday, 10 a.m –4 p.m. and will be open Saturday, April 3 and 10 from 9 a.m.– 3 p.m. The map lists more than 20 locations where the bulbs were planted. It also has a schedule of activities associated with the Tulip Celebration which can be viewed here.
