Sunday, May 3, 2026 | 1 - 5 pm | Pearl Street Mall
Due to Mother Nature providing us with much needed moisture that is perfect for everything but pint-sized fairies and elves, downtown Boulder’s Tulip Fairy & Elf Festival will now take place on its scheduled rain date: Sunday, May 3 from 1 - 5 PM on the Pearl Street Mall. We'll see you then!
Spring officially arrives in Downtown Boulder when the beautiful, colorful Tulip Fairy, along with pint-sized fairies and elves, parade around the Pearl Street Mall "waking up the tulips." This much beloved springtime tradition features live performances, special activities for children and more than 15,000 tulips that adorn the world renowned Pearl Street Mall.
Please note: This is a human/fairy/elf event only. Kindly leave your furry family members in a safe place! Every Saturday and Sunday, City of Boulder Parking Garages are FREE! BoulderParking.com
