Fill A Bucket is new at Holland Ridge Farms for the 2026 tulip season

Fill a Bucket is new for 2026. You buy the new, really cute pink bucket online when you buy your tickets to the tulip festival, pick it up when you get to the farm, fill it with tulips (it fits more than 50), and skip the checkout line. Yes, you get to keep the bucket when you leave.

Weekends at Holland Ridge Farms will be filled with family-friendly fun. There will be inflatables, bubble shows, and face painting included with your ticket during opening weekend. The second weekend, there will be scads of food trucks and a beer garden, and that leads to peak bloom weekend, which is not to be missed.

Though pretty, these flowers are prone to cause issues with dogs and cats, so if you're thinking about gifting one of these to your special someone, make sure you don't let the animals get to them!
