It’s one of those years when going to Tulip Time may actually be one of the best times to see the tulips. 

 

The annual event runs through Sunday, May 13, — Mother’s Day — with flowers in abundance. A trip during this past weekend found the flowers at the Window on the Waterfront to be in full bloom, creating a colorful cascade for photographers of all skill levels. Tulips at Windmill Island were also in stages of blooming which assures that no matter when someone goes, they are bound to see the tulips. 

 

The Music Parade is Saturday, May 12. The parade is at 2 p.m.

 

There are a lot of free activities such as the Holland Friends of the Arts Show, the Tulip Time Quilt Show, and the 2018 Art in Bloom all at the Holland Area Arts Council, 150 E. 8th St. The Historic Plllar Church Tours starts at 57 E. 10th St. The Holland Garden Club Flower Show is at the Herrick District Library, 300 S. River Ave. and the Graafschap Heritage Center also has a show at 5973 Church St., Graafschap. 

 

A carnival is taking place at the Holland Civic Center lot, 150 W. 8th St., and the Dutch Market and entertainment is at the Commons at Evergreen, 480 State St.
