With so many people dressed in their finest Dutch costumes, one character still draws attention from visitors. Randy Sikkema, longtime Bergermeister of Tulip Time says he still gets a thrill from talking to people who come for Tulip Time from all over the United States and the world. He says he’s been mistaken for many other notable characters over the years, with children often asking about the man in the Batman or Dracula costume. The Bergermeister serves as the unofficial village Mayor during Tulip Time.
