Fietsen Zangers

The Fietsen Zangers, or bicycle singers, have been performing a capella and riding their signature black bikes at Tulip Festival since 1999. They spontaneously stop along Central Avenue to serenade visitors with a Dutch song in four-part harmony. They sing a variety of songs in Dutch, a favorite of which is always “Lang Zal Hij/Ze Leven,” (“Long Shall He/She Live”) – a song performed for special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries.
