Pella, Iowa - A Beautiful Place to Live! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I have lived in Pella, Iowa for all of my life and I cannot imagine living anywhere else!
The main attractions to our city is the tulips and the windmills! You truly feel as if you have taken a step back in time into an European city as you walk down the city streets and take in ...Read More all the beauty.

Every May we have a huge festival called Tulip Time where the town really comes alive with a parade and people decked out in all kinds of Dutch style clothing, even the wooden shoes! Dutch food is available from various street vendors and the opportunities to shop at different boutiques is endless!

There's also a museum located here in Pella and a historical society rich in the history of this town and the Dutch fore founders that helped contribute to the building of this area.

Aside from that, the economy is growing here too and there are jobs no matter what industry it is that you are looking for! Read Less
