Summer in Holland

Strike up the band and party all summer in Holland! With band concerts in Kollen Park, the Street Performers and Summer Concert Series downtown, and our Summer Repertory Theatre at Hope College, Holland will entertain you everywhere you turn.

Too pooped to party? Then avail yourself of a relaxing day at the beach, a cruise on the lake, or a picnic on Windmill Island. Enjoy a meal “al fresco” at many of our restaurants, including some with waterfront dining. And speaking of food, our renowned Farmer’s Market is not only bursting with summer produce, but also features the Chef Series in which local chefs give away their culinary secrets.

Special events abound! Get active with the Lake Macatawa Duathlon, a fishing tournament, and the Holland 100 Bike Tour. Don’t know what to do with the kids? Check out the special summer activities at Dutch Village and the Holland Museum, and don’t forget the fireworks on Independence Day and the Ottawa Country Fair in July. Finish off your summer with Art in the Park, the Vintage Boat Show, the Tulipanes Latino Art and Film Festival, and the Civil War Muster.

Rub on the sun screen, stretch out the hamstrings, and work up an appetite — Holland has an exciting summer waiting for you!
