(WOODBURN) - Oregon's largest tulip farm, Wooden Shoe in Woodburn, is anticipating a colorful spring festival.

The 21st annual Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival kicks-off Monday.

There are more than 50 acres of tulips and daffodils to bloom.

The question everyone asks at this time of year is "When will the tulips bloom?"

According to Barb Iverson, co-owner of Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, the recent cold weather has slowed the flowers so we are currently looking forward to a normal year.

That means the best bloom for the daffodils is usually the opening week with the tulips following the first and second weeks of April.

Cost is &5 per vehicle on Saturday and Sunday. Free Monday through Friday.

The festival runs daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Daily activities include:
Tulip fields, Tulip and Daffodil Display Gardens, Children`s Garden, gift shop, Country Store, Tulip Cafe, and a farm equipment display.

Weekend activities:
Weekend activities are the same as weekdays, plus, the Crafters Market Place, pony rides, wine tasting, Dutch sausage, Mexican food, wooden shoe making, steam tractors and entertainment
