Historic Town of Holland

Laid out down the side of Lake Michigan is the darling Dutch town of Holland! Founded in 1847 by Dutch settlers, this town is a glimmer of The Netherlands. Holland, Michigan, is renowned for its annual Tulip Time Festival in May when over 500,000 awaken and bloom all over town!

You will find anything and everything here, from fabulous restaurants, local shops, hip coffee shops, and the beautiful Hope College campus. In the center of town, you will find the peaceful Lake Macatawa, where you can set sail, go fishing, and swim to your heart's content. With Lake Macatawa sitting in the center of town, you will find the town divided into North and South. In South Holland, you will find the downtown with boutique shops, vintage candy and toy stores, local coffee shops, stellar restaurants, and multiple breweries!

North Holland is sure to capture the interest of nature lovers! This side of town is cloaked in luscious green trees, u-pick berry farms, sandy beaches, and incredible hiking and mountain biking trails.

No matter the season, you are sure to love your time in Holland! Summertime offers beach days, farmer markets, street fairs, live music, and dining al fresco. Whereas, winter brings cozy days tucked next to wood-burning fires, cross-country skiing, sledding, ice skating, or plunking down at one of our local watering holes.

Whether you enjoy modern conveniences or rustic wilderness, this quaint town has it all and will please any kind of traveler!
