HOLLAND, Mich. â Tulip Time is making a comeback next year, but the iconic West Michigan festival will look a lot different in 2021.
Organizers say they are planning a limited number of outdoor events to start on May 1 and run through May 9, and all will be run under the guidance of recommendations by the CDC, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and the Ottawa County Health Department.
Some of the events expected to be held next Spring include the Tulip Time Artisan Market, the Tulip Time Run, and Dutch Marktplaats.
