Welcome to Holland, MI

Holland is situated near the eastern shore of Lake Michigan on Lake Macatawa, which is fed by the Macatawa River. The city is perhaps best known for its Dutch heritage, which serves not only as a part of the city’s cultural identity, but the local economy as well: the Tulip Time Festival in May and various Dutch-themed attractions augment the nearby Lake Michigan shoreline in attracting thousands of tourists annually.
