FORD
BACKGROUNDER ON TULIP TIME FESTIVAL
There are ten areas in the United States with a substantially
large percentage of population derived from the Netherlands.
The largest of these colonies is that of Western Michigan,
covering an area of about 5,000 square miles of which the
city of Holland is the center. The population of Holland
and the adjacent villages is 84,650. Of this number, more
than 75 percent are either Hollanders or descendents of the
early Dutch immigrants. The population of Holland is about
26,000.
This is the 47th annual Tulip Time Festival. It is a four-day
festival which opened on Tuesday, May 12, and runs through
Saturday, May 15. The festival opens with traditional street
scrubbing ceremonies in which the Mayor and City Council inspect
the streets, find them dirty, and order them scrubbed. This
involves a ceremony in which some 500 costumed townspeople
participate, carrying pails of water on wooden yokes and
wielding brushes and willow brooms. The scrubbing is followed
by the folk parade and the initial performance of the costumed
Klompen Dancers. On Thursday, the children's parade is featured
and the week's activities are topped by the Parade of Bands on
Saturday.
Three hundred thousand people are expected for the parade.
The City of Holland is very proud of the fact that it is one of
three new entrants admitted this year to the Rose Parade. The
theme of their float was "America, Let's Celebrate Tulip Time."
It used no tax dollars and though partially funded by the
Michigan Bicentennial Commission and other State agencies,
for the most part was built through public contributions.

REST ROOMS: Lincoln School (in assembly area) and Holland High

BAND AND CORPS
MANAGERS:
We have tried to line up this parade so that every-
thing will run as smoothly as possible and we try to
change positions of units participating from year to
year. Please understand that there are many factors
which may account for your parade position. Certain
sized units must be placed in certain spots in the
massed band review in Riverview Park in order to balance
the formation. Also certain routine must be followed
in sending these units from the Band Review in the
shortest possible time to their parade positions. Also,
we try to place some larger and smaller units in each
division. This results in a smooth operation in a
limited time.
IMPORTANT:
There have been some problems in the past with chaperones,
family, friends, etc., following behind bands or drill
teams on the parade routes. This practice is detri-
mental to the parade and absolutely will not be per-
mitted. Marshals are instructed to remove such persons
at the start of the parade. Persons who wish to meet
their band at the end of the route should make arrange-
ments other than walking along the parade route.
The Tulip Time Board has determined that strict ad-
herence to the above guidelines is mandatory, part-
icularly in regard to eliminating parade gaps. Units
not cooperating fully will not be invited again to
participate in future Tulip Time parades. Many units
are turned away each year, once the optimum size
parade is reached. We, therefore, expect full cooper-
ation from units accepted for Tulip Time parades.
BAND
OBSERVATION: This year we will have a qualified judge surveying all
bands to determine how the above instructions have been
followed during the parade. He will also be advising
us on general quality to assist in future invitations
for marching units. Next year we anticipate official
judging along with an appropriate awards program.
CONTACT
PERSON:
It is our hope to have a contact person meet your band
in the assembly area to aid you in every way possible.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION WELCOME TO HOLLAND -

you might have, feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Boyle:
Thank you for your letter of March 4, 1975, and the information you
provided. I can appreciate the current demands upon your time and
the numerous requests you receive, and am grateful for the time you
have spent on our behalf.
It is with a strong sense of community pride that we have compiled
the enclosed package. Located on Lake Macatawa, five miles from Lake
Michigan, Holland is an attractive, thriving community which hosts
thousands of visitors every summer. Our 27,000 residents enjoy a
fine school system and commendable public services. With a healthy
central business district and a diversified industrial base, we con-
sider Holland an outstanding and beautiful City.
Holland can point to two additional factors that make it especially
unique; our tulip festival and our Dutch heritage. 1976 will be the
47th anniversary of Tulip Time. (A brief history is included in our
attachments) Termed the third largest festival in the United States,
Tulip Time annually attracts a half million visitors. Its four-day
program, combined with the blooming of 1,000,000 tulips, has earned
it national recognition. Among our frequent guests is Michigan's
Governor, who traditionally leads the opening day street scrubbing,
and on the list of past Parade Marshals is Gerald R. Ford. The Tulip
Time budget of only $45,000 indicates the high degree of community
support and involvement it enjoys. Perhaps, through your association
with the Rose Parade, you can appreciate the difficulty in expressing
beauty and color with mere words; however, we hope the documentation
enclosed will do so adequately.
Having previously served on the Tulip Time Board for many years, I
wish to emphasize that Tulip Time is not a commercial venture but,
WHERE IT'S TULIP TIME IN MAY

rather, a celebration of our Dutch heritage. Holland was settled
by the Reverend Albertus Van Raalte and a small group of Dutch immi-
grants in 1847. They carved a village out of the wilderness and,
before incorporation as a City in 1867, endured hardships and sick-
ness. In 1871, the town was devastated by fire but rose again,
through the determined efforts of its citizens.
Holland has never forgotten its heritage. The Dutch Immigrant Society
is large and active. Situated in City Hall are the offices of the
Netherlands Consulate for Cultural and Press Affairs, an official
organ of the Netherlands government. In 1952, the City was honored
by the visit of Queen Juliana and in 1964, despite their legislation
prohibiting the removal of windmills from the Netherlands, the City
of Holland received special permission to purchase, dismantle and
ship the graceful windmill De Zwaan (The Swan). Dedicated in 1965
by Prince Bernhard, this six story, fully operational mill is now the
focal point of our Windmill Island Municipal Park. Wind direction
permitting, grain is ground into whole wheat flour during the spring
and summer months.
We believe Holland's participation in the Tournament of Roses Parade
would be unusually appropriate. Two of the three Bicentennial themes,
"Heritage" and "Festivals", would be excellently represented. In
addition, Holland, through its rich history of pioneering effort and
progress over the last century and a quarter, and through its annual
celebration of these uniquely American qualities, would be a fine
contribution to your own "America, Let's Celebrate" theme.
Initial contacts have been made with community service and civic
organizations. As you can see by the responses enclosed as a part
of our package, we are confident that we can reply immediately to an
invitation and will be able to provide the necessary funding. City
staff members stand ready to lead our efforts.
Thank you again for your assistance and for providing an opportunity
for Mr. Bopf to meet with you. This project has already given us
great satisfaction and, regardless of the outcome of our request, we
invite you to visit Holland, especially during Tulip Time.
Best wishes for the success of the 1976 Tournament of Roses Parade.
If we can provide any additional information, please feel free to
Mr. James R. Boyle, Jr.

GENERAL REVIEW
In 1846, a group of sixty men, women and children left their home in the Netherlands
for a new life in America. Religious oppression, coupled with the economic depression
prevailing in the Netherlands at that time, persuaded this group of Hollanders to
seek religious freedom and a better life elsewhere. The first founders, led by
Reverend Albertus C. Van Raalte, arrived at the location in west Michigan which was
later to become the City of Holland on February 9, 1847, and subsequently proceeded
to lay the foundations for the new community.
Today there are only ten areas in the United States with a substantially large
percentage of population derived from the Netherlands. The largest of these colonies
is that of western Michigan, covering an area of about 5,000 square miles of which
the City of Holland is the center. The population of Holland and the adjacent
villages is 84,650; of this number, more than 75% are either Hollanders or descendents
of the early Dutch immigrants.

HISTORY OF TULIP TIME
Tulip Time began in 1927 as a suggestion that tulips be planted as a civic project
to beautify the city. One hundred thousand tulips were planted the following year
and public response was so surprising that more were planted for the next year, and
the phrase "Tulip Time in Holland" was created.
The festival interest developed, and in 1929 the first festival was officially de-
clared. At that time the wearing of Dutch costumes, including wooden shoes, was
introduced. A parade was scheduled, and the festival, which has grown to the third
largest in the country, was under way.
The four-day Tulip Time Festival traditionally opens on the Wednesday nearest the 15th
of May with street-scrubbing ceremonies in which the mayor and city council inspect
the streets, find them dirty, and order them scrubbed. This involves a lively
ceremony in which some five hundred costumed townsfolk participate, some carrying
pails of water on wooden yokes, and some weilding brushes and willow brooms.
The scrubbing is followed by the Folk Parade and the initial performance of the
Klompen Dancers. On Thursday the Children's Parade is featured. More than three
thousand Holland area youngsters in costume depict customs and traditions of the
Netherlands as they march the parade route.
Saturday opens with a National Baton
Twirling contest in the Civic Center.
A national champion has been selected
DUTCH IN MICHIGAN
annually since the contest first was
staged in 1958. The Band Review, which
has been a feature of the festival since
the 1930's, brings to Holland the out-
standing high school bands of the state
who compete in marching and drill for-
mations, presenting a spectacle of color.
The Parade of Bands features more than
50 high school, college, and civic
bands, floats, and marchers. This three
hour parade is one of the most colorful
parades in the country.
In addition to the tulips, parades, and the wooden-shoe dancers, the festival program
is augmented with various events for each day. These may include authentic costume
shows, dramatic productions, and choral groups.
On Friday evening the Parade of Barbershop Quartets and square dancing are featured.
Saturday night is the statewide Square Dancing event and the Tulip Time varieties.
The Tulip Time Varieties is the closing event of the festival.
On Sunday a Tulip Time vesper program is given by the music department of Hope College,
to which the public is invited.
High school girls interested in the Dutch folk dances learn them under the direction
of an experienced instructor. Early in festival history the "klomp-klomp" on the
pavement rivaled the tulip in attracting visitors.
One of the first features introduced at the
festival was the wearing of Dutch costumes
and wooden shoes. A wooden shoe carver from
the Netherlands was engaged, and today Holl-
and boasts of the only Wooden Shoe Factory
in the nation. Shoes are fashioned from
white poplar logs, and about 20,000 pairs
are for sale to Holland visitors.
A little Netherlands was designed and con-
structed in miniature. Local sculptors,
artists, and craftsmen combined talents to
reproduce quaint sections of Old Holland
with figures, houses, windmills, canals with
dikes, mechanized drawbridges, and oper-
ating boat locks. The Netherlands Museum
became a reality in 1937 to serve as a center
of Dutch culture and to perpetuate the memory of the Dutch pioneers who settled in
this area. Many of the unusual articles on display were brought to this country by
the early Dutch settlers, and from the Dutch government. This is a popular visitor
attraction.
The Flower Show, one of the best in the state, has become a part of Tulip Time and is
sponsored by the Holland Garden Club. Hope College and the high schools of the area
assist the festival with programs consisting of either musical or dramatic contributions.
A Dutch Village was added in recent years with tulip plantings and buildings of Dutch
architecture. Miles of tulips now line city streets in brilliant array, forming
"Tulip Lane". Plantings and displays dot the entire Holland area.
Of interest to the hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, is the preservation of
the original purpose of the festival. Now, as in the beginning, the tulip in all her
stately beauty reigns as "Queen" in this community of color and music each year in
May when It's "Tulip Time in Holland."
