Lewes, Delaware was the first town in the First State, and it is proud of its Dutch heritage. Each year, Lewes in Bloom goes all out to plant, maintain, and help gorgeous tulip beds throughout the town thrive. And every year, the town of Lewes comes together to celebrate this gorgeous, annual flower, welcoming it as the first sign of spring.
From April 4th through 15th, the entire city of Lewes joins together to celebrate gorgeous Dutch flowers.
