Discover Holland Michigan 2022 Visitors Guide

Special events such as street performers, pumpkin carvers, sidewalk sales and parades lend a vibrancy and liveliness to the downtown experience. The winter holidays are also a magical time for a visit when Dickensesque decorations and festive activities give extra warmth to the season.

Winner of America In Bloom’s 2021 Coolest Downtown Award , Holland’s city center is a year-round destination begging to be explored. Beautifully restored turn-of-the-century architecture serves as the backdrop to a thriving cityscape.

Buzzing with sidewalk cafes, live music and coffee shops, downtown is the place to both meet up with old friends and to make new ones. Discover our vibrant downtown in your own way .

Beverage connoisseurs can contemplate sculptures as they wander our social district, stopping at local establishments to pick up an ale or artisan cocktail to enjoy along the way. If shopping is your strong suit, f ind everything from a trendy outf it to a stand-up paddle board to a specialty spice blend to a science kit for your granddaughter. Top off the evening with a local chardonnay or a family outing for frozen custard, the choice is yours. Every aspect of downtown is designed for our visitors’ enjoyment .
