Pella is beautiful and unique all year long, but at Tulip Time it comes alive with tulips, Dutch attire, parades, food, fun and more. Thousands of residents wear Dutch attire and celebrate our Dutch heritage. Three days each spring, Pella becomes Holland to Pella residents and visitors alike.

Travel back in time with us May 1, 2 and 3 to a European village full of windmills, tulips and excitement as we celebrate the 72nd anniversary of this colorful festival. The following pages showcase the exciting events that make this annual festival great. Many of these activities continue year-round.

Anytime you visit Pella, there are historical sights, ethnic foods, Dutch architecture, great shops, and friendly people. Please visit Pella this year and "Re-discover Iowa's most colorful tradition!"
