WELCOME BACK
Celebrating 5 Years of Community and Creativity!
We’re so excited to welcome you back to our fifth annual market! Each year, Dominic and I look forward to showcasing a vibrant variety of local artists and their amazing creations across all mediums. Our mission has always been to celebrate creativity, community, and the incredible talent that makes our region special.
This year, we’re excited to bring some fantastic new additions to the market! We've introduced a grab-and-go picnic option and expanded our selection of regional artists, ensuring there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy. As always, we love showcasing the market’s furry friends on social media, so feel free to bring your well-behaved pets for a fun day out!
Our market is set in the beautiful Pea-Vinery Building, nestled next to the enchanting Christianson’s Nursery in Skagit Valley Pronounced {Ska-Juht}. Surrounded by stunning fields of daffodils, tulips, and blueberries, with views of the Cascade Mountains, Mount Baker, and the iconic Red LaConner Bridge, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind setting.
Don’t forget to try our signature Honeycomb Candy, made with love using honey from our own Marie’s Bees. This year, we’re offering it covered in dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and introducing a new flavor: Lynden Raspberry!
We can’t wait to share this unforgettable experience with you and your family, filled with art, joy, and a little sweetness. Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to see you at the market!
Warmly,
Dominic & Marisa Papetti

When is the Best Time to See the Tulips in Bloom?
The Tulip Festival is a month-long celebration, and the bloom time can vary each year. A few years ago, the weather was so chilly that we had daffodils and tulips blooming together! Typically, tulips bloom within a few weeks of each other, but timing can change. To stay updated, you can check out the handy bloom watch for the latest on the tulip fields.

Wear boots and layers. The fields can be very muddy. Bring reusable bags for all of your goodies. You will be able to buy cut Tulips, however Tulip bulbs will be pre-order only.

Our market in the Pea-Vinery is just one part of the larger Christianson’s Nursery campus, where there’s so much to explore in one stop. Visit Art in the School House, browse Primrose Gifts, or stroll through the nursery’s enchanting greenhouses—there’s magic around every corner! John and his amazing team continue to add to the charm every day. During your visit, you might also spot trumpeter swans and flocks of snow geese in the fields, tractors hard at work, and bursts of vibrant color in the landscape, all under the backdrop of breathtaking clouds. It’s truly an unforgettable part of the festival experience.
