        <description>The best way to get acquainted with Holland is to take a crash course in its fascinating history-and there's no better place for this than the Holland Museum. Here you'll experience the arrival of the Dutch in 1847, their struggle for access to Lake Michigan, the devastating fire of 1871, and the amazing story of Holland's rise from the ashes, the birth of Tulip Time, the war years of courage and commitment, and the burgeoning economic growth that continues today.
For nearly three-quarters of a century, the Holland Museum has received impressive gifts of Dutch culture from donors here and around the world. Recent donations of Dutch paintings have led the museum to create the New Dutch Galleries, which feature an extraordinary collection of 17th, 18th, and 19th century art and culture of the Netherlands. This is a spectacular collection-don't miss it!

        <description>How many places do you know that are both historic and hip? With diverse, first-class shopping and dining, creative arts venues, and festive happenings all year round, Downtown Holland is the place to be. You can enjoy the funky street performers in the summer as you stroll past the traditional Victorian architecture. Delight in a festive Tulip Time parade and then experience a stimulating art show. Shop at a trendy boutique or a tried-and-true clothier. Satisfy your hunger at a brew pub for lunch and an elegant restaurant for dinner. And join in all the winter holiday activities without a slip, thanks to the snowmelt system on our streets and sidewalks. Find out why Downtown Holland has earned the &#8220;Great American Mainstreet&#8221; award and the accolades of thousands of tourists each year.  For more information on events taking place Downtown, please contact the Holland Area Convention &amp; Visitors Bureau at 800.506.1299.</description>

        <description>The best way to get acquainted with Holland is to take a crash course in its fascinating history-and there's no better place for this than the Holland Museum. Here you'll experience the arrival of the Dutch in 1847, their struggle for access to Lake Michigan, the devastating fire of 1871, and the amazing story of Holland's rise from the ashes, the birth of Tulip Time, the war years of courage and commitment, and the burgeoning economic growth that continues today.
For nearly three-quarters of a century, the Holland Museum has received impressive gifts of Dutch culture from donors here and around the world. Recent donations of Dutch paintings have led the museum to create the New Dutch Galleries, which feature an extraordinary collection of 17th, 18th, and 19th century art and culture of the Netherlands. This is a spectacular collection-don't miss it!

    <description>Something Takes Place is a multi-media art show, held the second Thursday of every month, which is open to everyone! Something takes place when creative people get involved, whether you're a poet or sculptor, photographer, animator or break dancer, oil painter, folk singer or garage band.  We want to see the result of you doing "your something".

To register, visit www.somethingtakesplace.com. Our mission is to provide a forum and environment that encourages creative expression in all forms, and provides artists and performers a free venue to promote their artwork for personal or commercial purposes.

Before we have art, we have ideas.  Concepts.  Sparks.  A thought happens.  Sometimes it is an explosive moment.  Others, it calmly rushes over you.  Something takes place, which makes your ideas evolve into your work as an artist.  You nurture it, cutaway at it, guide it, with the goal of leaving behind a perfect piece of yourself.

        <description>How many places do you know that are both historic and hip? With diverse, first-class shopping and dining, creative arts venues, and festive happenings all year round, Downtown Holland is the place to be. You can enjoy the funky street performers in the summer as you stroll past the traditional Victorian architecture. Delight in a festive Tulip Time parade and then experience a stimulating art show. Shop at a trendy boutique or a tried-and-true clothier. Satisfy your hunger at a brew pub for lunch and an elegant restaurant for dinner. And join in all the winter holiday activities without a slip, thanks to the snowmelt system on our streets and sidewalks. Find out why Downtown Holland has earned the &#8220;Great American Mainstreet&#8221; award and the accolades of thousands of tourists each year.  For more information on events taking place Downtown, please contact the Holland Area Convention &amp; Visitors Bureau at 800.506.1299.</description>

        <description>With its 120-foot tower and abundant stained glass, Dimnent Memorial Chapel is a community landmark. Dedicated in 1929, the building is used for worship, all-college assemblies and convocations, and special concerts. The auditorium contains a four-manual Skinner organ and a mechanical action organ built in the Netherlands. The Chapel's tower chimes were restored in 1996. They deliver the classic "Westminster" peal every 15 minutes during daylight hours. The building was originally named simply Memorial Chapel in honor of all who had supported Hope's growth. In 1959 it was renamed in honor of Dr. Edward D. Dimnent, Hope's fifth president.</description>

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>Reminiscent of years gone by, this special event celebrates Sinterklaas, the benevolent St. Nicholas.  In true Dutch folk tradition, Sinterklaas arrives each December on his great white horse, surrounded by his mischievous Zwarte Piet helpers.

The procession begins at the Holland Area Arts Council (150 East 8th Street), following a brief appearance by Sinterklaas, and continues down Eighth Street until it reaches the Eighth Street Market Place, home of the Holiday Kerstmarkt.  There, the Mayor will officially "welkom" Sinterklaas to Holland! Afterward, Sinterklaas will be on hand to greet children and be photographed by friends and family.

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>Something Takes Place is a multi-media art show, held the second Thursday of every month, which is open to everyone! Something takes place when creative people get involved, whether you're a poet or sculptor, photographer, animator or break dancer, oil painter, folk singer or garage band.  We want to see the result of you doing "your something".

To register, visit www.somethingtakesplace.com. Our mission is to provide a forum and environment that encourages creative expression in all forms, and provides artists and performers a free venue to promote their artwork for personal or commercial purposes.

Before we have art, we have ideas.  Concepts.  Sparks.  A thought happens.  Sometimes it is an explosive moment.  Others, it calmly rushes over you.  Something takes place, which makes your ideas evolve into your work as an artist.  You nurture it, cutaway at it, guide it, with the goal of leaving behind a perfect piece of yourself.

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

        <description>Take a walk on the wild side at DeGraaf Nature Center. You don't need to drive out of town to get in touch with nature. If you have 20 minutes or 2 hours, you will enjoy exploring the woodland, shrub, marsh and pond trails of this 18 acre preserve located within the city limits of Holland, Michigan. 

During the winter, if there is 4-6 inches of snow on the ground, you may borrow a pair of snowshoes and explore the trails.

The Brower Interpretive Center is brimming with information and hands-on displays. Many special events are scheduled throughout the year. Visit DeGraaf Nature Center anytime of the year. Look for special events on Saturdays, and stop in to view any number of environmental films for free.

        <description>Enter the 19th century world of a Dutch immigrant who became a wealthy, influential community leader and father of 16 children. It's all still here: the furnishings, personal belongings, and echoes of the daily life of the Isaac Cappon family. And located just five doors away, the Settler's House is an 1867 example of Holland's early working class housing, a thought-provoking contrast to the Cappon House.

&lt;b&gt;Summer Hours:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>This hilarious Christmas tale is based on the movie of the same title and the book "In God, We Trust All Others Pay Cash," both written by Jean Shepherd.  This 1940&#8217;s Midwestern memoir follows 9-year old Ralphie in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to all but hears the consistent response: &#8220;You&#8217;ll shoot your eye out.&#8221; The fun includes the family&#8217;s temperamental exploding furnace, the school bully, the boys&#8217; experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and more. "A Christmas Story" is a theatrical holiday perennial.</description>

    <description>Award winning Holland High School Theatre Department proudly presents "Once Upon a Mattress." Dec 3-5,11,12 at 8pm. Once Upon a Mattress is an off-beat re-telling of the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea." The production focuses on a royal family whose matriarch, Queen Aggeavain, has ruled that no one in the kingdom may marry before her son, Prince Dauntless the Drab. Many romantic quests are foiled until a Princess wins the heart of the Prince and the people. Several musical numbers are featured in this delightful production.</description>
