Dutch Win­ter­fest 2025

Dutch Win­ter­fest is a sea­son­al cel­e­bra­tion in Hol­land, Michi­gan that brings Dutch hol­i­day tra­di­tions to life through fes­tive events, cul­tur­al expe­ri­ences, and com­mu­ni­ty cheer. 

From Sin­terk­laas fes­tiv­i­ties and curat­ed hol­i­day tours to ice-skat­ing, cul­tur­al tast­ings, and whim­si­cal dec­o­ra­tions, Dutch Win­ter­fest cap­tures the charm of a Dutch win­ter vil­lage with a dis­tinct­ly Hol­land twist. 

Tulip Time invites artists to trans­form over­sized PVC orna­ments avail­able in 15″, 20″, or 24″ sizes into cap­ti­vat­ing works of art inspired by the icon­ic blue-and-white Delft style. While the Delft’s icon­ic palette remains, your sub­ject mat­ter should break from tradition.

Let your cre­ativ­i­ty shine by blend­ing clas­sic Delft tones with imag­i­na­tion. Select­ed designs will be proud­ly dis­played through­out down­town Hol­land, offer­ing a fresh take on tra­di­tion for all to enjoy.

What’s your tulip time story?

Every­one has a Tulip Time sto­ry. The first parade you marched in. The sur­prise pro­pos­al in a tulip field. The year­ly moth­er-daugh­ter trip. The day your child wore Dutch cos­tume for the first time.
 

We want to hear YOUR sto­ry. Sub­mit a mem­o­ry, a pho­to, or both — and help us cel­e­brate what makes Tulip Time more than just a festival.
