Tulip festival iowa

You can visit the Netherlands without leaving central Iowa when the 2024 Pella's Tulip Time festival kicks off this week.

Experience Dutch culture and more than 300,000 blooming tulips during the three-day event consisting of crafts and food vendors, parades and tours.

The Tulip Times Festival in Pella started in 1935 as an impromptu gathering of those with Dutch ancestry. From that meeting, a tradition blossomed.

Pella is located in Marion County and only a 50-minute drive from Des Moines.

When you visit Pella during Tulip Time, expect to see people in traditional Dutch clothing, eating Dutch foods and participating in street scrubbing and coffee time.
