Pella is a “tourism treasure.”

Pella has received many acknowledgments from the State of Iowa. A few of the awards Pella has been honored with include: “Tourism Community of the Year”; “Attraction of the Year”, Vermeer Mill; “Corporate Friend of Tourism”, Pella Corporation as well as our county (Marion County) has been awarded “County of the Year”, by the State of Iowa, five times!

If you’re looking for an educational and cultural experience, we’ve got it! Outdoor recreation year-round, we’ve got that! Maybe it’s walking the trails around Lake Red Rock or enjoying the many shops around the square. It all happens in Pella! From the Annual Tulip Festival in May, Thursdays in Pella June-August, to our Christmas Tour for the holiday season, Pella is a “tourism treasure.”

Go ahead, check your map; you really are still in Iowa. Pella’s architecture gives you the feeling of Holland, along with wooden shoes, delicate Dutch pastries, the musically animated Klokkenspel, Molengracht canal with working drawbridge, and the tallest working windmill in the United States. Pella offers three designated Cultural Districts and beautifully landscaped parks with an array of color. Old World charm and annual tradition peaks in early May at Tulip Time Festival. Enjoy a variety of outdoor recreation at nearby Lake Red Rock.
