ward-winning Holland, Michigan offers the perfect backdrop for your next meeting! Located on the shores of Lakes Michigan and Macatawa, Holland is home to first-class hotels, restaurants, and lakefront parks. Conveniently located thirty- five minutes west of Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, Holland is three hours from Chicago and Detroit. Our friendly Dutch hospitality and beautiful landscapes provide the perfect setting to boost meeting attendance and increase family participation. We can accommodate small board meetings and conferences 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, or spend an afternoon boating or charter fishing. They can play a round of golf, check out the Holland Museum, or we can arrange a tour of Big Red, one of Michigan’s most photographed lighthouses. Our award-winning downtown features a variety of shops, galleries, and eateries and comes


alive 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 finest Farmer’s Markets! Market events include the Saturday morning Chef Series, a “Salsa Showdown” competition, and “The Pumpkin Carve,” where the nation’s best carvers turn the market’s pumpkins into amazing works of “art.” Year-round festivals include the internationally known Tulip Time Festival, Dutch WinterFest, and the Tulipanes Latino Art & Film Festival. Visit our unique Dutch attractions, including Nelis’ Dutch Village, with its festive import shops featuring authentic Dutch wares, and a mini-theme park set in a replica of a small Dutch town. At Windmill Island Gardens, you can tour DeZwaan, a 260-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. Plan now to make Holland the backdrop for your next successful meeting!
