Bloom Tulip Festival in Armstrong will be closing a couple weeks earlier than anticipated, due to the heat wave that has ripped through the area over the past couple of weeks.
Monday, May 15 is the last and final day it will be open.
Originally scheduled to close on May 27, the festival got some bad news overnight, as the majority of the tulips have crisped from the heat.
According to Alexis Szarek, the creator of the festival, if you hold a ticket for a future date and wish to come today (May 15), you can do so.
Last entry into the festival is at 4:30 p.m, and it will close at 6 p.m.
Additionally, Szarek wants to stress patience for those who have tickets for future dates and who will be unable to come.

The festival will be back later in the summer for the Bloom Sunflower Festival.
