Our Green Holland, a citywide celebration of sustainability, is back from September 19-26!
During Our Green Holland, community partners are hosting a week of events all about conservation efforts in West Michigan. The 2026 lineup includes a native plant sale, environmental trivia, a vermicomposting workshop, a community stroll and roll, a City recycling drop-off, and the Macatawa Water Festival! There are events for all ages and all walks of life to enjoy!

The last day of Our Green Holland 2026 will be jam-packed! From 9-2, the City of Holland is hosting a recycling drop-off at Thermotron. This event is free for City residents, and it’s the perfect chance to recycle common but hard-to-dispose-of items! There are guidelines, restrictions, and limits for the
drop-off; please visit recycling.cityofholland.com to learn more!
Across the road, ODC Network is hosting the Macatawa Water Festival (rescheduled from July 18).
