Tulip Time Planning For 2021 It may have been cancelled this year, however, organizers for Tulip Time are planning ahead for 2021. Millions of Tulips have been planted and are waiting to pop up this Spring. Tulip Time is scheduled for May 1 through May 9, 2021 with some significant changes. The Tulip Time web-site says, "Planning during this ever-changing landscape is challenging, but we are optimistic. The festival, however, will have to undergo some significant changes." The Artisan Market, the Tulip Time Run, the Dutch Marktplaats, including the NEW Dutch Dance Costume Exhibit and a new Tulip Immersion Garden are in in the works. Organizers are planning to widen the festival footprint beyond downtown Holland. They are also offering timed ticket events to allow guests to spread out and maintain social distancing. If Tulip Time can safely host the parade, it will occur on Saturday, May 8 sans grandstand seating. Planners are hopeful that other favorites like the Dutch Dance and the carnival will happen.
