Question: What month of the year did the symbolic monarchy of the Tulip Festival takes place? 

Tulip Time Festival is an annual festival held in Holland, Michigan.  Tulip festivals are held in many cities around the United States of America that were founded or largely inhabited by Dutch settlers.  It has been held every year in mid-May since 1929 and is currently the largest tulip festival in the United States.  The festival currently runs from the first Saturday in May through the second Sunday. <SEP> The Tulip Festival is held in Albany, New York every spring at Washington Park.  It stems from when Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd got a city ordinance passed declaring the tulip as Albany's official flower on July 1, 1948.  In addition, he sent a request to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands to name a variety as Albany's tulip.  She picked the variety "Orange Wonder", an 18-inch tall tulip that is orange-shaded with a scarlet toward the center, it is a slow-grower and relatively rare.  The first Tulip Fest was celebrated the next year on May 14, 1949 with opening ceremonies still carried on today as tradition, such as the sweeping of State Street and the crowning of a Tulip Queen.  In 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the festival the state of New York designated Albany as the "I Love New York Spring Destination".  Also for the 50th anniversary a descendant variety of the "Wonder Orange" tulip was found in the Netherlands, and the new variety was named "City of Albany".  The African-American tradition of Pinksterfest, whose origins are traced back even further to Dutch festivities, was later incorporated into the Tulip Fest.  Since 1998 the Tulip Fest has included the Mother of the Year award.  On July 11, 1948 her reply was "Her Majesty gladly accepts the invitation to designate a tulip as the official flower of Albany." <SEP>  The Tulip Queen and her court serve as ambassadors of the city and engage in community service projects during their one-year term. The Tulip Queen and Court is a symbolic monarchy with a yearly coronation at the Tulip Festival, which takes place in May at Washington Park in Albany, New York. <SEP> The Beaches International Jazz Festival is a 10-day music festival held each year in the lakeside Beaches community of Toronto in the month of July.

The Festival takes place across a number of venues; stage concerts are held in several different parks within the area and also along a two kilometre stretch of the Beach mainstreet - Queen Street East.  Every year, the Festival brings in internationally acclaimed jazz performers while also showcasing local talent, including “new generation” jazz musicians.
