HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, May 10, 2023) – A line that Al McGeehan used to say at the midway point of the Tulip Time Festival’s annual run comes to mind.
The former Holland Mayor would proclaim at the Governor’s Luncheon that Michigan’s spring and summer tourism season begins at the corner of Columbia Avenue and 8th Street with the start of the Volksparade. While that particular milestone has changed over the years, the festival is still seen by many in the state’s travel and hospitality industry as ushering in a plethora of events and attractions.
This week is the 40th renewal of National Travel and Tourism Week, and Dave Lorenz with Pure Michigan says that, if you want to plan a vacation close to the Lakeshore, don’t procrastinate.
Lorenz, along with Tom Daldin and Jim Edelman of Under the Radar Michigan, will host a daily 7 PM webcast through Friday that will feature interviews and inspiring stories about destinations throughout Michigan. A link to that webcast is here.
