Thousands of visitors will soon converge on the Tulip City for its signature celebration, and preparations are ramping up even more from those organizing the 88th Tulip Time.

Pella Historical Museums Assistant Director Jessi Vos says one of the ways residents can prepare is by purchasing their Dutch costumes at the annual market, this year to be held March 30th through April 1st. Payments can be made by cash or check only.

Those who would like to sell their costumes must drop off their cleaned uniforms on Wednesday, March 29th. Click here to learn more about selling.
