Holland Tulip Fest
Holland Tulip Time
April 30 - May 2, 2027
3 Days | 2 Nights
Imagine stepping into a living postcard, where fields of brilliant tulips stretch across the landscape, Dutch windmills turn in the spring breeze, and the sights, sounds, and traditions of the Netherlands come alive along the shores of Lake Michigan. Join us for a delightful spring getaway to Holland, Michigan, during its famous Tulip Festival, when the community bursts into color and celebrates its Dutch heritage with flowers, food, music, craftsmanship, and old-world traditions.
Our adventure is filled with beautiful gardens and fascinating experiences. Wander through Veldheer Tulip Gardens, where thousands of tulips create a spectacular palette of spring colors and provide endless opportunities for photographs. At De Klomp Wooden Shoe & Delftware Factory, discover the artistry behind two beloved Dutch traditions and see how wooden shoes and beautiful Delftware are crafted. Then step into the past at Nelis' Dutch Village, where charming architecture, gardens, demonstrations, and Dutch traditions create the feeling of a small village in the Netherlands.
The Dutch experience continues at Windmill Island Gardens, home to the historic De Zwaan windmill. Surrounded by colorful gardens and Dutch-inspired scenery, this remarkable windmill provides a beautiful glimpse into the country's heritage and the important role windmills have played for centuries. Throughout your visit, you'll have opportunities to explore, shop, taste local specialties, take photographs, and simply enjoy the festive spirit that fills Holland during tulip season. When the sun begins to set, the fun continues with an evening performance at the Holland Community Theatre, with the show to be announced. It's a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy live local entertainment after a full day of discovering Holland's gardens and traditions.
And just when you think you've experienced everything Holland has to offer, we'll finish our adventure with a little excitement! We'll travel along the beautiful Lake Michigan coastline to Saugatuck for a memorable Saugatuck Dune Ride. Feel the thrill as you travel through the spectacular coastal dunes, wooded trails, and sandy landscape while taking in the natural beauty of one of Michigan's most treasured shorelines.
With two nights at the comfortable Hampton Inn Holland, this spring getaway gives you time to enjoy the destination without feeling rushed. From a sea of tulips and the turning sails of a historic windmill to handcrafted Dutch treasures, live theatre, and an adventurous ride along Lake Michigan, this is more than a festival—it is a celebration of spring, culture, color, and the simple joy of discovering somewhere special together. Come for the tulips, stay for the Dutch charm, and leave with memories as colorful as the flowers themselves!
