City of Orange issued the following announcement on Dec. 19.
As 2020 draws to a close and preparations for the 2021 Orange City Tulip Festival are well underway, we’d like to ask for your continued support of the Friends of the Festival Foundation.
In 2021, we hope to fund the following important ventures through the Friends of the Festival Foundation:
• with our 80th Tulip Festival in May 2021, we are building a new float and doing some much needed restoration to a number of floats in our line up;
• increasing the tulip beds that our visitors can view and stroll through;
• improving and adding ticket kiosks for visitors to use during the festival.
Being a Friend of the Festival with a minimum contribution of $100, you will receive early access to purchase your tickets to next year’s Night Show starting December 1, 2020. Regular ticket sales begin on January 15, 2021. A special window cling is given to businesses for entrance doors as well as a special plaque for first-time donors. We also recognize all donors at our annual wrap-up meeting of volunteers.
Please consider making a tax-deductible, year-end gift to the Friends of the Festival Foundation in support of these projects. Your contribution enables us to share our thriving Dutch heritage with visitors and community members.
