There are several state parks in and near Holland. If you want to stay at Holland State Park during the festival, make your reservation early.
I stayed near St. Joe when I visited Holland and both destinations can be visited simultaneously. See the Itinerary Map.
If you are staying in Holland, it will meet most service and entertainment needs, but there are multiple nearby options.
Highlights
Holland, Michigan was originally settled by Dutch immigrants and their influence is obvious throughout city. Nowhere is it more apparent than on Windmill Island.
The Windmill Island municipal park is best known for its authentic Dutch windmill and the 100,000 tulips planted annually. A visit in any season might be fun, but spring during the Tulip Festival is the best time to explore the gardens.
During the festival, the entire city is awash in tulips and everywhere there is a celebration of the community’s Dutch heritage. It is absolutely worth the effort to visit.
This is a year round destination, but you will not regret visiting when the tulps are in bloom.
