May 2 – 11, 2025

The Tulip Time Festival is an annual spring festival held in Holland, Michigan, featuring many events and activities to enjoy over the course of 10 days, from the first Saturday in May to the second Sunday.

Since 1929, Holland has celebrated its Dutch heritage with countless acres of tulips in springtime bloom. The tulip count has increased from 100,000 that first year to millions today, bursting forth with amazing color in public parks, local attractions and streetside plantings.

Over the years, the Tulip Time Festival has expanded to include a wide variety of events, entertainment and attractions in addition to the spectacle of flowers. In the process, it has garnered international recognition – named one of the top 20 events in the world by the International Festival and Events Association, America’s Best Small Town Festival by Reader’s Digest and America’s Best Flower Festival by USA Today.

Where is the Tulip Time Festival?

Tulip Time activities and events take place in different locations around Holland, most within a 4-mile radius of the city’s picturesque downtown. Tulips can be seen for no charge in public parks and along downtown streets. 

Holland is just a 30-minute drive from the first-class hotels, restaurants, shops and attractions of Grand Rapids, one of CNN’s 10 Best Towns to Visit.
