Windmill Winterim: 90 Years of Pella's Tulip Time

Pella Historical Museums is excited to be celebrating 90 years of Tulip Time in 2025! What started as a small heritage festival with wooden tulips has blossomed into a community-wide celebration, welcoming 200,000 people to Pella over three days of fun.​

Join us to hear from a panel of folks who have been involved in Tulip Time throughout the decades. From its beginnings in the 1930s and ‘40s to its rapid growth in the 1960s and ‘70s to the rhythms we experience in the 2000s, learn how the festival has grown and changed over the years.

Free and open to the public.
