Bowral is also the setting for Tulip Time a Spring celebration where over 100,000 tulips and 25,000 flowers are planted in the town centre.

Held every September and October, Tulip Time has become one of Australia's leading floral festivals.

This annual tradition became known as "Tulip Time".

During World War II, Tulip Time was scaled back, returning with a four-day festival in 1946.

In 1991, Tulip Time expanded from four to ten days.

Later stage roles included Midge in Tulip Time in 1935 at the Alhambra Theatre.

His first hit, "It's Tulip Time in Holland" sold more than one million copies in just a few months in 1915.

Ed McMahon visited Tulip Time in 2007 along with Bobby Vinton.

Today Tulip Time attracts one million annual visitors to a town of barely 35,000.
