About Holland
Holland, Michigan is the Netherlands transplanted to the shores of Lake Michigan — a city of windmills, tulip gardens, and Dutch heritage that has become one of the Midwest's most beloved destinations. The annual Tulip Time Festival draws 500,000 visitors each May, but Holland rewards year-round visits with its pristine Lake Michigan beaches, thriving craft brewery scene, and a downtown that feels genuinely European.
