HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – The newest “annual” event on a busy Holland activities calendar is approaching.
According to Esther Fifelski of the City of Holland’s Human Relations Department, final preparations for this Saturday’s first International Festival of Holland are being finalized. “We’re really getting excited, having conversations with our performers, getting all the details worked out with the Civic Center, and there’s so much going on,” she said in a recent appearance on “WHTC Talk of the Town.”
The August 17th festivities begin at 11 AM with a rededication of the Queretaro Fountain in Kollen Park, followed by a full day of music in the Holland Civic Center Place’s Great Hall. Municipal President Luis Bernardo Nava Guerrero of Holland’s sister city of Queretaro, Mexico is slated to attend the rededication, along with Jose Luis Covarrubis Herrera, who designed the fountain that was a gift to the Tulip City 20 years ago.
