A little stamp with a big story 🌷

Pella’s Tulip Time Festival began in 1935 with a simple idea: celebrate our Dutch heritage with thousands of blooming tulips and a community-wide festival. Nearly 90 years later, that tradition continues to bring people together each spring, creating memories that span generations.

Spirit of Pella’s Forever Pella Tulip Time mural stamp honors that enduring legacy—a colorful tribute to the tulips, traditions, and community spirit that make Pella so special.

Here's to celebrating the past, embracing the present, and keeping the spirit of Tulip Time blooming for generations to come. 🌷✨
