Tulip Time West Market

The Dutch Market at Tulip Time is a vibrant three-day celebration held each spring in Pella, Iowa, welcoming thousands of visitors who come to enjoy Dutch heritage, handmade goods, and the beauty of tulip season. The market brings together artisans, makers, and small businesses from across the region, creating a lively atmosphere filled with creativity, food, and community. It’s a place where people wander with pastries in hand, discover one-of-a-kind work, and connect with the artists behind the pieces. Showing my pottery here has become one of my favorite parts of spring—there’s something really special about sharing handmade ceramics in the middle of a festival built around tradition, color, and craftsmanship.

Dates for the 2026 Tulip Time Festival will be Thursday, May 7-9, with West Market hours of 9am to 7pm daily. I hope to see you there!
