Dutch Win­ter­fest 2025

Dutch Win­ter­fest is a sea­son­al cel­e­bra­tion in Hol­land, Michi­gan that brings Dutch hol­i­day tra­di­tions to life through fes­tive events, cul­tur­al expe­ri­ences, and com­mu­ni­ty cheer.

What’s your Tulip Time story?

Every­one has a Tulip Time sto­ry. The first parade you marched in. The sur­prise pro­pos­al in a tulip field. The year­ly moth­er-daugh­ter trip. The day your child wore Dutch cos­tume for the first time.
 

We want to hear YOUR sto­ry. Sub­mit a mem­o­ry, a pho­to, or both — and help us cel­e­brate what makes Tulip Time more than just a festival.
