The Tulip Time Festival began in 1929, inspired by a civic beautification idea proposed in 1927 by Lida Rogers, a biology teacher at Holland High School. She suggested adopting the tulip as the city’s flower to honor Holland’s Dutch heritage. The city council responded by purchasing 100,000 tulip bulbs from the Netherlands in 1928, planting them throughout the city. When the tulips bloomed in 1929, Holland invited visitors to celebrate, marking the birth of Tulip Time.
Over the decades, the festival has evolved into a nationally recognized event, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. Readers Digest named the Holland Tulip Time Festival the "Best Small Town Festival in America"!
