Parade Route info:
Main St from Union to Rocket Blvd.
We have an “unusual” parade
The Holland Festival parade is an unusual one. Every year we are asked when the parade begins….
Well, we begin our Saturday afternoon activities with an honor to our Dutch Heritage; Our Burgermeister and Town Crier declare the streets dirty, we spend some time scrubbing the streets (which is adorable to watch) and after the Burgermeister declares them clean our Kinder Klossers and Klompen Dansers entertain.
This year we will have the Kinder Klossers beginning on the north side of Main Street and working their way to the south. Simultaneously the Klompen Dansers will begin on the south end of Main street and dance north. Our Stage Dansers will perform for the crowd in front of the First Reformed Church.
NEW FOR 2023: While the Dansers are entertaining the crowds on Main Street the Parade will be starting on 2nd Street.
No entrance to the parade route is allowed from 1 pm to the end of the parade.
