Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

The warmer weather has been great for people putting up Christmas displays on their homes and in their yards. There are some incredible displays this year.

The University of Michigan Health-West Christmas & Holiday Traditions kick off at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park next Tuesday, November 23rd.

Frederik Meijer Gardens is once again being nationally recognized. The park is up for "Best Sculpture Park in America" in a USA Today and 10Best readers poll.

Last year just about everything was cancelled or postponed due to the coronavirus. That included many of the events at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture park. Hopefully 2021 will be a better year. With those hopes, they have released their schedule of events for 2021.

As the classic Christmas song goes..."It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!" It seems that this year people are going all out with their holiday light displays in their yards and at local businesses. Where are some of the coolest displays?

The volunteers at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park have been hard at work decorating for the annual Metro Health Christmas & Holiday Traditions exhibition! This year they are taking a closer look at all things "handmade" and this exhibition takes many hands to make it beautiful.

A ribbon cutting ceremony will celebrate the reopening at the main entry garden.

It’s the last weekend in February, plus we get to celebrate Leap Day! We have everything from Disney on Ice to Tubing, Comedy and Beer, Basketball to Butterflies, Runs, Comedy and more!

It’s the final weekend of the year 2019! There are still many Christmas themed activities. There are also a lot of things going on at the area museums. It’s also your last chance to get your FREE General Admission tickets forthe Grand Rapids Ball Drop on New Year’s Eve.

It’s the final weekend before Christmas. That means there are many Christmas, Chanukah, and Winter related activities this weekend. We also have more tickets for the Grand Rapids Ball Drop on New Year’s Eve. And, if you want to travel back to the 80’s for a few hours...there are a couple of events to do just that!

It’s a long Thanksgiving weekend for most people. We have events on Thanksgiving day and all weekend long. We have Christmas lights and traditions, a Turkey Trot, Hockey & Basketball, Music, Model Trains, and Tickets for New Year’s Eve.

It’s the first weekend of November. Don’t forget to “Fall Back” this Saturday night/Sunday morning as Daylight Saving Time ends on at 2:00 am on Sunday, November 3rd (We “Spring Forward” again on Sunday, March 8th, 2020). It’s also a good time to check those batteries in your smoke detectors. We have lots of comedy, music, holistic healers, nature, a .1K run (that’s about a block!), a cancer benefit for Jay Allen, KIDZ BOP, and a holiday gift show!
