With Tulip Time coming up in Holland, MI, hundreds of thousands of people will descend upon the town to immerse themselves in gorgeous tulips, traditional dancing, Dutch food & pastries, marvel over the bright and ornate dress and leave with a brightness and better understanding of Dutch culture and traditions. While this is an incredible 10-day festival, Nelis’ Dutch Village is celebrating year-round. The downtown store located at 20 E. 8th Street is open year-round and the Historic Theme Park is opening for the season on April 18th. During Tulip Time, Nelis’ Dutch Village boasts 30,000 tulips with 100 varieties!
Listen to the Nelis Family dive into how this property transformed into the attraction and staple in the community it is today, and how they have maintained family business ownership in Holland for over 100 years.
