Art & Craft Fair Application

The Tulip Time Festival Art and Craft Fair is a 2 day event, located in Holland’s downtown Centennial Park, and offers FREE admission to all our guests. Centennial Park is a popular gathering place in the center of the hustle and bustle of Tulip Time Festival activities. Dating back to the turn of the century, this 6 acre park was Holland’s original market square. The picturesque park with its winding cobblestone pathways features historic plantings with over 25,000 Tulips and a beautiful fountain with fishpond which accents the center of the park. Along with the Art and Craft Fair, Centennial Park will host costumed Dutch Dancers and trolley tours, creating an authentic old world ambience which attracts over 10,000 visitors annually to the Art and Craft Fair.

Food & Merchandise Vendors


What are the Tulip Time dates? The Annual Tulip Time Festival will be held from May 1-8, 2010.

Where are the Tulip Time vendor areas? Tulip Time manages ONLY two food vendor areas and gives those vendors from the previous year first opportunity to secure space, therefore any room for new vendors is very limited if available at all. No vendors are allowed on public property other than these two areas. Once Tulip Time has accepted a vendor they will be added to the approved list which is given to City Hall for licensing. Only vendors on this list will be licensed for these areas.
