Kiwanis Tulip Festival

Kiwanis Club of Holland is proud to host the Tulip Festival every May. In 2024, the Tulip Festival has been moved to the first weekend of May. It always goes on, rain or shine. You can expect a hometown experience that Holland and the surrounding communities have enjoyed for 65+ years. The beautiful Tulip blooms can be found all around town, but the action is right smack dab in the middle of town, where the town parking area is converted into a venue for all to enjoy games, rides, beer tents and music. After a long winter, folks look forward to seeing neighbors and friends all around town.
