Description
Pier 39 presents its popular event, Tulipmania, showcasing thousands of tulips throughout both levels of Pier 39. Tulip displays will feature a variety of whimsical topiaries interspersed among the flower beds. For several days, visitors absorb the visual splendor and gardening tips offered during the daily “tulip tour” headed by Pier 39’s landscape team.

Tulipmania returns in full bloom at PIER 39 with free guided tours beginning from the Entrance Plaza at 10am daily. This year's collection will feature flowers of every color combination conceivable including Apricot Beauties, Texas Flames, Purple Princes, Flaming Parrots, Swan Wings, Burgundy Lace and more. The tulips will be topped with winter vegetables including lettuce, parsley, celery and red chard. At the culmination of each tour, participants are invited to the Wines of California Wine Bar for post-tour refreshments. If you are unable to book a tour, take a stroll down PIER 39 on your own to enjoy this beautiful floral display.
