A Michigan city settled by Dutch immigrants in 1847, Holland is steeped in Dutch history and charm. Travel back in time to the Netherlands of the 1800s at Dutch Village Theme Park, where traditional Klompen dancers, authentic Dutch architecture, old-fashioned rides and scenic gardens round out a bona fide Dutch experience. May is the best time to visit, as the city's atmosphere is enhanced with millions of tulips that bloom throughout the parks and neighborhoods, an advent that is celebrated each year at the renowned Tulip Time Festival. Live entertainment, arts and crafts fairs, parades, trolley tours, fireworks and, of course, exceptional floral displays are some of the treats this event has in store. The spring tulip gardens are a major draw to Windmill Island, an attraction that boasts an operating windmill from the 18th century, a replica of a 14th-century Netherlands inn, and organ concerts from May through October.
