Tulip Time folks in Holland is a hugely popular event in West Michigan that people travel from around the world to visit. I took this photo a couple of years ago during Tulip Time and it’s just one of many great photo ops during the event.

Over six million tulips will be blooming in Holland city parks, public attractions and along city streets. The  event has racked up some impressive awards including the “Top 20” event in the world by the International Festival and Events Organization; the “Award of Excellence” by Premier Tourism Magazine and a “Top 100 Event” in North America by the American Bus Association.

You can find out more about the Tulip Time Festival at their website.

Here’s a google map that will get you to the heart of Tulip Time in Holland, Michigan.

Windmill Island Holland Michigan
Windmill Island just before dusk.

It’s Tulip Time in Holland, Michigan and Windmill Island is one of the featured attractions for good reason.

It’s a beautiful and leisurely paved walk to the island which is surrounded by marshes with cattails and red winged blackbirds.

Although tourists and vacationers travel from around the world to visit the island during Tulip Time, it’s an attraction that stands on its own and is well worth visiting any time of the year, especially spring, summer and fall.

Tulip Time in Holland, MI is a big deal for a lot of folks, so I thought it was about time I check it out. The Tulip Time Festival actually starts next week, but the tulips are already looking stunning and I thought this would be a great way to get some shots before the crowds arrive.

I took this HDR photo at Windmill Island. It’s an enchanting, beautiful place that is well worth the visit.
