Floriana tulip festival
 
Does anyone know when the next Floriana (I think that's the proper name) Tulip Festival will take place in Holland? I believe it takes place every 10 years.

Floriade takes place every 10 years though sometimes a special one is held

Tulips are a minor part of it as it lasts all summer

I went several years ago and it's really a showcase of the Dutch horticultural industry with all types of flowers they produce.

I'm sure if you Google Floriade you'll get the relevant info

But tulips it ain't really

Sounds like 2012 unless some special exception pops up like it has before

You may be thinking of annual spring Keukenhof? www.keukenhof.nl

The next Floriade is indeed in 2012, in Venlo, Limburg, and lasts from April to October.
