Last Week at Rotary - February 27, 2025

The Tulip Time Festival, organized by a non-profit organization, will celebrate its 96th year this year. Dutch Dancing, introduced 90 years ago, will feature 900 dancers participating in the festival.

 

The Tulip Time staff attended the World Tulip Festival in the Netherlands last year. They met with dancers, growers, and others to get ideas for future festivals.

 

Modifications to the festival include extending it to 10 days and reducing the length of the Saturday parade route. Additionally, new VIP bus tours operated by Tulip Time will transport visitors to various locations.

 

The usual concerts, artisan market, Dutch Dance, parades, fireworks, and more will take place.

 

The Holland Rotary Clubs have helped with bleacher seating during the Parades for many years. Rotarians welcome tour groups, help them find their seats, and entertain them before the parade. About 20 people are needed for each parade. Non-Rotarians are welcome to help, also.
