Street Scrubbing

Carrying on a Dutch tradition, our street inspectors, made up of councilmen and our Town Crier, check the streets for cleanliness in anticipation of the Tulip Queen’s arrival. Boys and men throw buckets of water while girls and ladies follow with brooms, ensuring that the streets are spotless for our Queen and her Court.

Time

1 p.m., following the Straatfeest and Dutch Dancing. The Volksparade follows Street Scrubbing

Location

2nd Street North & Central Avenue

Cost

Free if you choose to bring your own lawn chair, or $5 for reserved bleacher seating (recommended)
