Holland is Ottawa County's second-largest city, located along the shores of Lake Macatawa near the city of Grand Rapids. The city has a rich Dutch-American heritage and has been named as one of America's top places to retire by CNNMoney. Each year, it is home to the annual Tulip Time Festival in May, which showcases more than six million tulip blossoms planted throughout the city. Cultural attractions include the 250-year-old De Zwaan historic windmill, which was brought to America from the Netherlands and is located on Windmill Island, and the Holland Museum, which chronicles the city's history and Dutch heritage. Outdoor recreational opportunities and public beach access points are plentiful at sites such as Holland State Park and Tunnel Park.
