Holland Harbor is part of Michigan's Recreational Harbor Program. The harbor is located just off of Lake Michigan at the Western end of Lake Macatawa. Two large breakwaters and a bright red lighthouse mark the entrance.

Attractions: Every year, in Mid-May, over 500,000 people come to enjoy the colorful Tulip Festival. Tulip blossoms of many different varieties line the streets and boulevards.

History: In 1847, a group of Dutch immigrants founded the city of Holland. Originally lumbering was the main source of commerce in this area. By the late 1800's the exhaustion of the timber supply brought lumbering to a quick halt. Raw materials were then brought in by water for manufacture of a  variety of other products changing Holland's commerce. The growing of fruit and tourism also help to maintain the local economy to this day.
