A special performance marking the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War will be featured today.
Steering Committee member Paul Jones says the 1st Brigade Band will participate in the Volks Parade and perform on the Tulip Toren stage for evening grandstand entertainment. He says the show will also tie back to one of Pella’s founders–Dominie Scholte, who held a firm anti-slavery stance leading up to the Civil War. Governor Terry Branstad will also be in attendance throughout the day. The KNIA/KRLS Big Red Radio will broadcast live updates from the final day of the 80th annual Tulip Time Celebration.
