Each spring, Holland, Michigan commemorates its Dutch heritage as surrounding fields are ablaze with colorful tulips. Travel with Lamers to our neighboring state this May to experience Earth as it rejuvinates at the annual Tulip Time Festival. You will step back into the Netherlands of over 100 years ago at the recreation of a Dutch Village, watch as a craftsman carves real wood shoes and enjoy Dutch dancing, great food, drink and shopping during this three-day jaunt.
Day 1
Today we can't wait to experience this fun annual event as we make our way through Illinois, Indiana and into Michigan, skirting the shores of Lake Michigan as we go. We first visit Dutch Village, a reconstruction of a village back in the old country. Dinner is included this evening. We overnight at the Holiday Inn Express in Holland.
Day 2
This morning, we are formally introduced to this lovely community as a local guide joins us for a narrated sightseeing drive. We will learn of its Dutch heritage and view lovely tulip lanes as we meander. This afternoon, marvel at the expansive beauty of Veldheer Tulip Gardens. Here you will see many unusual varieties of tulip bulbs and even have an opportunity to order them for planting back home. Talk with the craftsmen as they carve the national shoe at De Klomp's Wooden Shoe Factory. Don't be shy about trying a pair on! Enjoy watching skilled artist's hand-paint the famous blue and white delftware just as it was produced in the Netherlands. We finish our day with a visit to Windmill Island where we can inspect the 200-year-old De Zwaan working windmill. Enjoy the beauty of thousands of tulips planted on the grounds and along the dikes just like you would see in the Old World.
B, DDay 3
Our final day is here, and travel begins to retrace our route home, but with one last fun stop. Experience an exhilarating ride among the sand dunes in Saugatuck. Huge dunes formed on the eastern side of Lake Michigan, and we get to take a ride up and down and over these beauties of our natural world. On the final leg of our travels, reflect on our fun-filled tour of the annual Holland Tulip Fest!
