Located in Nokesville, Virginia, the Burnside farm is a beautiful and popular attraction due to its stunning and sunny floral displays that take place each spring season. The farm, which is family owned, turns into an ocean of colors each year through well over two million tulips and daffodils that bloom every year.  It is the nation’s largest pick-your-own flower festival, and it offers much more than its gorgeous views. Whether you’re coming for the perfect Instagram photo, a peaceful walk among the flowers, or a fun family day out, there’s something here for everyone. 

The 2025 Festival of Spring runs from April 4th through April 21st. Depending on weather and crop conditions, the season may be extended beyond April 21st. The farm is open daily from 8:00 AM until dusk, with the last entry at 7:15 PM. Early Bird sessions are available Thursday through Sunday from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM

Pro Tips Before You Go

• Wear sturdy shoes – You’ll be walking through fields that might be a little muddy.

• Check the Field Report – Burnside posts daily updates about bloom status and field conditions on their website.

At Burnside Farms’ Festival of Spring, there’s more to do than just admire the flowers, you get to be part of the experience. One can wander through the bright and beautiful fields and hand-pick your own bouquet from over 150 types of tulips and more than 30 varieties of daffodils. Each ticket includes five stems, although you can always purchase more. When it’s time for a break, you can head over to the shady courtyard beside a 100-year-old dairy barn to enjoy a picnic. Either bring your own or grab something from one of the local food vendors. On weekends, there’s live acoustic for customers to enjoy. With the stunning floral backdrops, rustic scenery, and picture-perfect spots all around the farm, there’s plenty of places you could take your memorable pictures.
