Tulip Time Festival has three parades celebrating Dutch heritage.
The first is the Volksparade - the parade of the common people.
Prior to the parade, the townsfolk, dressed in dutch costumes.
scrub the street until it is "dutch clean"
The colorful costumes and darling children
make the street scrubbers as much fun to watch as the parade itself.
Street scrubbing is serious business
Dutch kids learn early how to use a broom!
Finally the parade begins
There are floats,
Marching bands,
Baton twirlers,
And lots of wooden shoes
The Holland High school band marched and danced in wooden shoes.
That's no easy feat for the feet!
It was a klompen good time!
