HOLLAND, Michigan — Now that Tulip Time is in full swing, it's time for a parade or two!
Before the Kinderparade begins at 2 p.m. Thursday in downtown Holland, Dutch dancers in wooden shoes will Klomp at 1:30 p.m. on 8th Street between River Avenue and College Avenue.
Then at 2 p.m., elementary school children will line up with their teachers and school administrators in full costume as they march together through downtown Holland.
Each school and grade will have its own theme that nods to the towns’ Dutch heritage, from Dutch agriculture to the Dutch Master’s painters.
The parade route begins at 8th Street from Columbia Avenue to Kollen Park.
