The Tulip Pick known locally as Tulpenpluk commemorates the importance of tulip cultivation for Antwerp. On April 22 visitors to the Belgian city are invited to a big gathering with family and friends in Berendrecht where they could enjoy a day full of exciting events for all ages. Some interesting highlights of the programme include singing the tulip song and learning the tulip dance, having fun in the children's village with climbing and drawing, a straw castle, a large sandpit and a craft corner.
What is more, there is the opportunity to make flower bouquet or arrangement with self-picked tulips – ten per visitor out of 170 000 in total. Riding in an authentic covered wagon through Berendrecht, the tulip trains will be taking you to and from the boat. Landing stage and the car park are also part of the festival decoration.
