The Wamego Tulip Festival returns this weekend, bringing expanded events, live entertainment and nearly 300 vendors to one of northeast Kansas’ largest spring celebrations.
The Wamego Chamber of Commerce’s tourism and events coordinator, Corey Reeves, said the festival saw significant growth in recent years and now offers something for visitors of all ages.
“It really is a little bit of everything,” Reeves said. “If you’re looking for music, we’ve got it. If you’re looking for food trucks, local breweries and wineries, we’ve got it. And if you want arts and crafts for your home, we’ve got a whole lot of that.”
In addition to vendor booths, sporting events including pickleball and basketball tournaments are also planned.
Reeves said the festival goes beyond the tulips, highlighting Wamego’s business community and providing an economic boost to the region.
The tulip festival runs Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
