Take a visit to stunning views, refreshing smells and delicious tastes – before it’s too late. May 3 is the final day of the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, home of a colorful 40-acres of tulips.
Gabrielle Mueller, University of Oregon student and social media coordinator for Wooden Shoe, explained that although the blooms are near their end, there’s still plenty of fun to be had.
“It’s so fun to go up with a group of friends, take pictures and even pick your own tulips. There’s tons of different food and rides that are even fun for college kids – nothing like laughing at your friends while they zip line or jump from 20 feet into a giant stunt mat,” Mueller said. “There’s also free wine tasting every day from 12-5!”
