the shores of Lakes Michigan and Macatawa, Hol- land is home to first-class hotels, restaurants, and lakefront parks. Conveniently located thirty-five minutes west of Gerald Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, Holland is three hours from Chi- cago and Detroit.
Our friendly Dutch hospitality and beautiful land- scapes provide the perfect setting to boost meeting attendance and increase family participation. We can accommodate small board meetings and confer- ences to mid-size conventions and trade shows. Every meeting should include time to get out and explore the host community… and Holland will not disappoint! Your attendees can take advantage of our white sandy beaches, parks and trails for hiking and biking, and fishing. They can take in a round of golf or opt for contemporary art exhibits. If history is their thing, they can check out the Holland Museum or we can arrange a tour of Big Red, one of Michi- gan’s most photographed lighthouses. Our award-winning downtown features a vari- ety of shops, galleries, and eateries and comes alive throughout the year with summer Street Performers,
waterfront concerts in the park, a “Live Mannequin” night and an ice-sculpting competition. Our state- of-the-art snowmelt system keeps downtown’s streets and sidewalks virtually snow-free all winter long! From mid-May to mid-December you can enjoy one of Michigan’s best Farmer’s Markets! Market events include the Saturday morning Chef Series, a “Salsa Showdown” competition, and “The Carve”, where culinary students turn the market’s bounty into amazing works of “food art” Year-round festivals include the world-renowned
Tulip Time Festival, Dutch WinterFest, and the Tu- lipanes Latino Art & Film Festival. Stop in at our unique Dutch attractions, including Nelis’ Dutch Village, with its festive import shops featuring au- thentic Dutch wares, and a mini-theme park with the feel of a small Dutch town. At Windmill Island Gar- dens, you can tour DeZwaan, a 250-year-old working windmill imported from the Netherlands, and enjoy acres of gardens, klompen dancers, a vintage Dutch carousel and a street organ that was pulled through the streets of Amsterdam.
