Spalding Tulip Parade 50th Anniversary
This year, at 2pm on Saturday 3 May 2008, the town of Spalding in Lincolnshire will be hosting its 50th Annual Tulip Parade; the first Tulip Parade was in 1959. The Spalding Tulip Parade was originally started as a way of making use of the tulip flowers from plants grown to harvest the bulbs. As an annual event, it attracts visitors from all around the country. In the 60s, it was a popular event with people from the Midlands and further a field, as well as from the Spalding area.
