Holland Festival of Nebraska's Dutch Heritage
Traveling through Nebraska, particularly in the late spring season, brings opportunities to experience diverse events and festivals. One such celebration is the Holland Festival, a testament to the Dutch heritage in the area. This month-long event in May takes place in Central Nebraska, specifically in the town of Holland, a part of Phelan Township, Fillmore County, and just north of Sutton.
During this festival, the unique history and traditions of the early Dutch Settlers who made this land their home become the central focus. Visitors from all over converge on the village of 227 residents to witness this display of rich heritage. As described by event organizers, events include cultural performances, markets selling handmade crafts and quilts, arts demonstrations, music nights and parades where the town square is decorated, keeping the exuberant spirits merry.
Organized annually since 1934, Holland Festival honors the courageous pioneer efforts of pioneers that sowed seed on that land. Community members gather to lead parades, sing Dutch songs in the church, enjoy Klompe laced feint cookouts at the Fire Station, learn authentic dances, participate in Tulips Parade, marvel at Kincer windmills and, especially for Dutch ancestors, have family Tree leaf added or personal family recipe entries accepted at Heritage Bldg registration spaces available beforehand to organize later publication yearbooks.
Traditional attractions at the Holland Festival also put forth cultural aspects resembling Dutch festivals like the 'Rogellose Hei' music, played during the festivities. The famous architectural masterpiece in Dutch Windmills, with spinning blades, dominate this May Celebrations and an iconic part of this occasion that throngs take as some much looked forward photographs.
