The Fair

Every year, Holland hosts the Ottawa County Fair, which is a six-day late-July celebration in the Tulip City, serving the Dutch-heritage farming and manufacturing communities of one of Michigan's most prosperous and rapidly growing counties. Founded in 1959, it has grown into a beloved annual event for the region.

Local Tips

Holland is world-famous for its Tulip Time Festival in May and its Dutch heritage — the Windmill Island Gardens, the Holland State Park beach, and the thriving downtown make it exceptional.

What You'll Find There

Expect livestock judging, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, grandstand entertainment, and the vibrant community spirit of west Michigan's Dutch Reformed heartland.
