Holland, a charming small town on the shores of Lake Michigan rich in history and natural beauty, now has another attraction that has caught people’s attention.
Holland Museum’s new “Museum on Tap” event, a fundraiser that supports the local museum’s programs and exhibits, is scheduled to take place June 3, from 7-9 p.m. at the Holland Armory, located at 16 W. 9th Street. In a city perhaps best known for its sandy beaches and breathtaking annual Tulip Time Festival, the largest of its kind in the country, this gala reflects leaders’ willingness to try new things.
“This event was brainstormed as a way to engage people with the Holland Museum in a fun and different way,” explained Katie Baker, the museum’s development & communications director. “Who doesn’t love beer, wine and cider? We feature a variety of beverages and a history display on Holland Brewing.”

While enjoying tasty treats, beer and wine from local breweries and wineries, patrons will have the opportunity to check out the Holland on Tap Exhibit. This trip down memory lane examines Holland’s long brewing history and the strife that developed between brewers and citizens involved in the country’s Prohibition era, spanning from 1920-1933.
The fundraiser was tapped in January 2020, then interrupted and altered by COVID-19, “so we are just excited to be able to host an in-person event that is different for the Holland area,” Baker said.
The event will feature Bell’s Grand Armory Brewing, Kittywampus Soda Brewing (non-alcoholic), One Well Brewing, Pigeon Hill, Saugatuck Brewing Co., Tanglewood Winery, and Three Blondes Brewing. There will also be a silent auction and raffles to help raise funds for the museum.
“We hope people will come, enjoy beverage tastings, have a Knot Spot pretzel and check out the Holland on Tap history exhibit,” Baker said.
Baker credits a list of “wonderful sponsors” for making this event possible: Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge, EV Construction, Coldwell Banker (Andrea Hemmelgarn), AD Bos Vending Services, Macatawa Bank, Opus Packaging, and Re-Max Lakeshore (Heather Davis).
Ticket holders are entitled to six 4 oz. pours. Levels include $30 member tickets, $40 general, $50 at the door, and $10 for a designated driver ticket that includes a soda.
Holland Museum is a local landmark located in a repurposed 1914 Post Office Building in historic downtown Holland. It displays Holland history, Dutch art and temporary exhibits. Its Museum on Tap event is, as Baker noted, a new and fun way to promote community engagement that helps bring even more programming to this cultural institution.
Holland's Museum on Tap Event, a fundraiser for the cultural institution, is set to take place June 3, 2022 at the Holland Armory. Guests, here shown enjoying the first event a few years ago, are treated to a delightful evening featuring beer, wine and cider tastings from local breweries and wineries. There is also an opportunity to check out the Holland on Tap History Exhibit, a fascinating peek at the city's heritage.
