The weather is warming up faster than usual this April and students are itching to get off campus and enjoy the sun.

One place less than an hour drive away from Linfield that students can visit is the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.

Located in Woodburn, Oregon, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival is home to 40 acres of beautiful tulips that visitors can enjoy until the beginning of May.

The entrance fee is only $5 per person.

The festival has onsite food and activities as well as flowers. Activities include hay rides, and depending on the weather, hot air balloon rides.

“I don’t know if it took my breath away, but the views were very calming,” Brody Olson, ’19, said about the tulip fields.

The tulip festival is a relaxing place for students to get away from the stress of school and enjoy nature.
