Tanya Galwey from Berrima explored the gardens on the opening morning, and enjoyed capturing the festival magic with her camera.
The Southern Highlands Folk Dance Circle kicked off the festival's entertainment, and their costumes featured the iconic flower to mark the occasion.
Attendees also have the opportunity to marvel at the floral displays in a lit up garden at night time, with live entertainment and a local wine bar every Friday and Saturday evening.
Tulips After Dark
Every Friday and Saturday evening during the festival, see the gardens lit up. Joadja Estate will have a pop-up wine bar set up on September 16, 17 and October 1 and 2, and Artmeis Wines will have one on September 23 and 24. Tulips After Dark runs from 6pm to 9pm. Residents do not have to book online for the first session on September 16, and can just show proof of residency at the gates.
