A town called Holland, Michigan still has a tulip festival every spring.  A town called Little Chute has a celebration called a kermis which has a Dutch-costume parade, games, and craft exhibits. On special occasions they still wear their traditional clothes. Men often wore in baggy black pants and colorful, wide-brimmed hats. Women wore voluminous black dresses, colorfully embroidered bodices, and lace bonnets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL5d-QM21Mo9W2HMo0xFLnAAOy1mDDfSJa&v=EOHBPGsbePI
