The holiday season is in full swing in the Tulip City as several signature events are ongoing throughout the community.

A kick-off to the Kerstmarkt and Christmas Tour of Homes was held Thursday morning to ring in several festivities ongoing throughout Pella. The two signature events hosted by Visit Pella are also coinciding with the Festival of Trees at the Pella Opera House, performances of Cinderella by the Union Street Players, carriage rides in downtown, and more.
