2008 Food & Merchandise Vendors
What are the Tulip Time dates? The Annual Tulip Time Festival will be held from May 3-10, 2008. Vendors may sell for a maximum of 11 days beginning May 1, 2008 through May 11, 2008.
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.
Tulip Time areas include:
Parades
Drawing nearly 100,000 spectators, the Meijer Muziekparade is an excellent way for an organization, marching band or company to participate in one of the largest flower festivals in the nation. The Muziekparade is televised on our ABC station, WOTV 4. The Volksparade and Kinderparade are just as exciting and draw thousands of spectators.
The dates for the parades are as follows:
- Wednesday, May 7, 2008 – Volksparade
- Thursday, May 8, 2008 – Kinderparade
- Saturday, May 10, 2008 – Meijer Muziekparade
Parade entries are subject to the approval of the Parade Committee. The application deadline has passed. Please contact Sue Schurman, Parade Coordinator, for more information, 1.800.822.2770 x 108, or e-mail Sue at sue [at] tuliptime [dot] com.
