Denmarks largest Tulipfestival at Gavnø Castle

What is Denmark’s largest tulip festival?

Denmark’s largest tulip festival is Gavnø Castle’s signature experience and the event that attracts visitors to the castle park year after year. Hundreds of thousands of tulips bloom in carefully designed flower beds, where colours and shapes come together in impressive, artistic compositions.

The festival is known for its high quality and variation. Each season brings new designs and expressions, ensuring that the experience always feels fresh – even for returning visitors. This creates a sense of a garden that is constantly evolving and never stands still.

A festival shaped by garden art

The tulip festival is the result of extensive garden craftsmanship, where international tulip varieties meet classic favourites. The planting is composed with great attention to detail, rhythm and contrast, offering both sweeping panoramic views and small, surprising moments along the pathways.

As you explore the beds and colour combinations, you will discover just how versatile the tulip can be. The festival also offers plenty of inspiration for your own garden.
