Tips for Visiting Tulip Time in HollandCall it a personal field trip and pull the kids out of school for the day!
Many Holland Tulip Festival events happen during the week, such as the Children's Parade. As a result, some parents take their kids out of school and visit Tulip Time on a weekday because crowd size is smaller during the week.
1 – Save Your Seats for the ParadesPut out a blanket or chairs to save your spots, but be sure to follow the city ordinance – items cannot be set up earlier than 6 AM on any parade day. Additionally, items may only be placed between the street and sidewalk and all items must be removed no later than 1 hour after each parade. 
Tulip Time Grandstand Seating
Or, purchase premium parade seat tickets for Civic Center Marketside parade viewing or seating in the Grandstand. $18 per person
2 – Parking and Getting AroundDon't stay home just because Holland is busy during Tulip Time.
Rather, come prepared for walking and use a few of these strategies to make getting around a little more palatable:
– Plan to walk and walk a lot. Comfortable shoes are a must.
– Park at the first spot you find. Don't wait to find a better spot- it probably doesn't exist. Parking Map.
– Tag Team It. Have one adult drop off the rest of the family close to the action and use cell phones to meet up. This saves little legs and can extend your time at the festival.
© Provided by Grand Rapids Kids 3 – Where to Find Restrooms and Baby Changing Stations You'll need a restroom at some or multiple times during your Tulip Time trip.
Porta-potties are placed throughout the downtown area but if you're looking for a place to change your baby or a modern restroom here are two great places:
Visitors Bureau: located at 9th St and Central Ave – 78 E 8th St, Holland, MI 49423
Civic Center: private nursing rooms, changing tables and family restrooms can all be found here. 150 W 8th St, Holland, MI 49423
Kollen Park: 240 Kollen Park Boulevard, Holland, MI 49423
Centennial Park: 250 Central Ave, Holland, MI 49423
4 – What to Bring to Tulip Time with KidsSince Tulip Time is in the spring when Michigan weather changes on a dime, it's a good idea to be prepared for anything.
Recommended gear for visiting Tulip Time with kids:
– Towels/blankets to set alongside curb for parade seating.
– Folding chairs can work well if you get there early enough.
– If it's sunny, bring sunscreen and water bottles.
– A stroller is a good idea because there's a lot of walking, but, know you'll be dodging the crowds. Consider a baby carrier if your child is small enough, and you're up for it.
– Snacks, or buy good eats from the many vendors available.
– Rain coats. Hopefully, this won't be a factor this year, fingers crossed!
Where is the Best Place to See Tulips at the Tulip Festival?There aren't many tulips in downtown Holland.
You'll need to head to parks, specific streets, and venues to get an eyeful of the flower.
See below to find the best places to view fields and streets lined with miles upon miles of tulips.
When is the Best Time to See Tulips in Holland Michigan?This year the tulip festival in Holland is May 6-14, which is often at the tail of the optimal tulip bloom season.
Tulips typically bloom from mid-April to mid-May in Michigan. With all growing seasons, we are at the mercy of mother nature. If winter lasted longer, then blooms come later in the season. The Holland tulip festival is timed so that even if our growing season is late, tulips will still be in bloom.
Many Tulip Time destinations are open before the festival starts, so if you just wanted to see tulips, you can visit places like Windmill Island Gardens or Veldheer Tulip Gardens earlier in the season, before the crowds hit.
How long is the Holland Tulip Festival?The tulip festival runs just over a week, spanning two weekends every May.
If you can't make it to Holland Michigan during the festival, try coming a bit earlier in the year. Flowers have been known to bloom in advance of the festival, and sometimes after as well.
What happens to the Tulips after the Tulip Festival?A few weeks after Tulip Time is over, usually, in late May, a local group (Holland in Bloom) works with the city of Holland, Michigan to hold a community tulip dig.
In 2022, the fee was $10 cash per 5-gallon bucket (bring your own bucket.) Residents and visitors were invited to dig tulip bulbs from designated areas at Centennial Park, Window on the Waterfront Park, and Windmill Island Gardens. Stay tuned for details on the 2023 Community Tulip Dig.

Albany Tulip Festival Will Be Virtual Celebration Throughout May
A month-long version of Tulip Festival kicks off next week with in-person tulip tours and virtual entertainment.
The festival traditionally takes place on Mother's Day weekend and attracts thousands of people from the Capital Region and beyond to downtown Albany. For the second year in a row, because of the pandemic, organizers have had to create a virtual version of the festival.
"Last year, when the pandemic first hit we left the offices around March 16th or 17th. We really didn't know what was going to happen and we decided that we were going to do a Tulip Festival Day video," said Ryan Murray, public relations coordinator for the Office of Cultural Affairs in Albany.
The virtual celebration was about five hours long and while it was a success, Murray said organizers knew they needed to do something different this year.
Nearly every day in May they'll release a video of an artist performing, a kids program, a yoga class, etc. While the entire lineup has not yet been announced, Murray said that the festival will include regional performing artists like Girl Blue.
"We'll have some bands playing on our pages that normally would play at Tulip Festival but we're going to be doing unique videos with them, not just them at their house. We're doing some gorilla video shoots where we're not telling anybody what's going on, the videos will be played in a unique area," Murray said.
Beyond that, they'll have a virtual performance from Park Playhouse, readings from the RED Bookshelf, and a magic show from Melvin the Magnificent.
As far as in-person programming goes, Tulip Tours will run from Monday through Friday, May 14, with four tours each day. Eight people will be allowed on a tour at a time. To sign up, visit eventbrite.Com.
Another festival tradition, the crowning of the Tulip Queen, will have to be delayed until later this year.
"The pandemic makes it a little bit trickier for the Tulip Queen process. We have to interview people on Zoom and we usually do a little in-person gathering for the candidates and to pull that off we need to narrow the field down . . So it takes longer," Murray said.
The ceremony will be held sometime in June and will be live-streamed. The Capital Region Mother of the Year ceremony will also be held later this year.
Adapting Tulip Festival to a hybrid in-person and virtual event has been a challenging process.
"The major challenge is to figure out a way to have people enjoy the festival safely one more time before we can hopefully next year get back to our regular way of doing it. We want people to enjoy it and have a good time with it but want [people] to still be safe and that's the tricky part," Murray said.
However, people have been quick to step in and help.
"It's good because so many people are so invested in this festival and they want to see people enjoy it. Many people, as soon as we said we were going to do stuff last year and this year [said] 'Whatever we can do to help, we want to be a part of it.' So that has been very good," Murray said.
The videos will be released on Facebook (@AlbanyNYEvents), YouTube (Albany Events) and albanyevents.Org.

Canadian Tulip Festival Flying High With RCAF In 2024
OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 19, 2023 / The Canadian Tulip Festivals' celebration of the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve Centennial is coming to a close at the end of this Victoria Day Weekend, with closing ceremonies on Monday, May 22, at 9:30 pm with a torchlight vigil to extinguish the Canadian Remembrance Torch beginning in front of HMCS Carleton and ending at the Man With Two Hats Statue on Queen Elizabeth Drive, at Dow's Lake in Ottawa.

[The Canadian Remembrance Torch leads the Canadian Tulip Festival Opening Ceremony dedicated to the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve Centennial. May 13, 2023. Photo Credit: Leona Campbell] Festival organizers are delighted to announce next year's celebrations the Canadian Remembrance Torch will be passed from the Royal Canadian Naval Reserves to the Royal Canadian Airforce for their Centennial year in 2024. In honour of this partnership, the Canadian Tulip Festival has launched its tulip bulb fundraiser with a selection of four flying, fringed and feathered tulips dedicated to the RCAF.
"These limited edition bulbs were reserved at the international bulb auction in Amsterdam this past January, and are growing right now in the tulip fields of the Netherlands, cultivated by the Royal supplier of colour, esteemed grower JUB." explains Ms. Jo Riding, Executive Director of the Canadian Tulip Festival. "Our RCAF bulbs are 12 centimeters in diameter, larger than average bulbs found in big box stores, for band stronger blooms", adds Riding.
Each breed of tulip is dedicated to a different aspect of the RCAF. The "Rescue" tulip is a striped creamy yellow and crimson red bloom with a feathered edge to its petal, chosen for its resemblance to Search and Rescue (SAR) aircraft that are red and yellow for enhanced visibility. A brilliant deep red tulip with fringed edges, the "Flyers" tulip is named after the RCAF Flyers men's amateur hockey team that won the Gold medal in the 1948 Moritz Winter Olympics.
Chosen for its bright yellow colour with a fringed edge the "Wings" tulip represents the colour most associated with the RCAF's training aircraft of the Second World War and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, which was pivotal to bringing Allied victory and led to the internally recognized reputation for Canada being the "Aerodrome of Democracy."
Finally, the "Ad Astra" is a flying, pale ivory tulip with reflexed petals and was chosen because of its connection to the RCAF motto Sic Itur Ad Astra "such is the pathway to the stars."
"The Royal Canadian Air Force Centennial Team is delighted to be partnering with the Canadian Tulip Festival as the RCAF has deep historic ties with Holland, especially through the ultimate sacrifice by hundreds of young Canadians who fought for the liberation of The Netherlands in the Second World War," says Colonel Maggie Jacula, Campaign Manager for RCAF 2024. "In 2024 we hope all Canadians will join us in recognizing 100 years of Your Air Force. These unique tulips are just one of the ways to do that together."
Canadians are encouraged to plant RCAF Centennial bulbs in the fall of 2023, for blooming together in celebration next spring 2024. Pre-sales for these limited edition bulbs are open now on the Festival website and are shipped directly to customers, from The Netherlands in September.
The Canadian Tulip Bulb Fundraiser is vital to keeping the Canadian Tulip Legacy alive and thriving and allows organizers to host the Festival free of charge for all.
