Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

It looks like another nice weekend in West Michigan. We have a variety of outdoor and indoor events. Several sporting events...from baseball, to boxing, disc golf, to auto racing. It is also the final weekend to see the Butterflies are Blooming exhibit. There will be tree planting, gardening, recycling, and even a White Elephant Sale. There is also a couple of opportunities to get rid of the unwanted drugs you may have.

The weather looks nice for the weekend! We’ve got some outdoor activities including Auto Racing and going to the Drive In. There are also Runs, Plays, Improv Comedy, Music, and a Parade. It is also International Astronomy Day on Saturday, and Earth Day on Sunday,

Wow, what a mixture of activities this weekend. We have everything from an exhibit in honor of First Lady Betty Ford to the Grand Rapids Heart Ball. We have music and comedy. There is boxing and hockey. It’s the final weekend to get your taxes done. There is a Motorcycle Swap Meet and a Petting Zoo. There is also a Home and Lifestyle Show.

It's cottages, basketball, prom dresses, maple syrup, Easter egg hunts (for kids and dogs), records & CDs, bunnies, bands, and fowling...all wrapped up into one weekend!

This weekend we have beer, green eggs and ham, pretzels, reptiles, single people, hockey, running and walking, concerts and everything you need for the home and garden. Whew! That’s a lot of choices!!

Get out and enjoy the winter weather this weekend. There are several events happening in downtown Grand Rapids -- from the Golf Show to ice sculptures and Human Hungry Hippos! Also this weekend, you can watch the Opening Ceremonies for the Winter Olympics, Learn to Luge, and take a Polar Plunge! There are also a few concerts and sporting events.

There are activities going on this weekend inside and out. For the kids, the hunters, the sports enthusiasts, the brides-to-be, and beer lovers. A lot of stage shows to choose from as well...especially if you like comedy.

Now that everyone is stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner, it’s time to get out there and burn off some of those calories. Here are 10 things you can do this weekend around West Michigan.

There's no doubt about it, Grand Rapids is an awesome city. We've got lots of attractions and fun things always going on, we're a family friendly city and appeal to the younger crowd as well. Grand Rapids has A LOT to offer so no wonder why we make so many "best of" lists...

The 2016 Fred & Dorothy Fichter 'Butterflies Are Blooming' exhibit is now open! It was magical walking through the greenhouse with all of the butterflies buzzing around. It was a welcome taste of spring.

If Matt Nathanson's music career ever peters out (which it won't, because he's awesome), he could probably make a legit living as a comedian. He's charismatic and hysterical. He's got a way of completely engaging a crowd, which he definitely did at his sold-out show with Gavin DeGraw at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park July 15.
