The rain stayed away as the city of Pella and thousands of visitors celebrated day one of the Tulip Festival.
The day was highlighted by the coronation of Queen Eleanor Witt and her Royal Court.

And evening entertainment was highlighted by some of Pella’s finest performers. We have a special look at the sounds of Tulip Time on Let’s Talk Pella.


The first pair of the Volks Parades made their way around the downtown square.
