2016 Tulip Fest
Rotorua hosted its very first Tulip Festival in 2014 with a range of events including guided tulip walks, guest speakers and a weekend market in Jean Batten Square.
The dazzling display of tulips have become a major highlight of Rotorua's floral showcase in the inner city and nearby parks.
