Visiting the flower fields during the Tulip Festival in April should be an enjoyable event, not a day spent stuck in traffic. Make your trip pleasant by preparing for congestion, planning alternate routes and understanding the area.

Exit 230 from I-5 to SR 20 is a great option for anyone traveling from points north of Skagit County, or those from the south who want to avoid congestion in town. You can head west on SR 20 to SR 536 or take a left on your choice of Skagit County roads to reach the flower fields.

Exit 221 from I-5: Head west toward Conway and La Conner to enter the flower fields from the south.
