fulton street farmers market

It looks like it might be a wintery weekend around West Michigan. It might be a good weekend for a few cocktails, maybe a run/walk, disc golf, or maybe something inside. We have plenty of options for you! This Saturday is also Veteran's Day, a day to honor our friends and family that have served in the United States Armed Forces. The Veteran's Day Parade in downtown Grand Rapids will start at 11 am on Saturday.

It’s stuff like this, why I love living in Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Next Thursday it’s the 7th Annual Fork Fest at Romence Gardens & Greenhouses on Lakeside Drive.

We have festivals and spirits, dancing fountains, games, walks and more! There is something for everyone on the list this weekend.

It's the last weekend in July. Area festivals and fairs continue, along with food, movies, baseball, runs and concerts. We have events for adults, kids, and even the dog! There are plenty of activities for all ages. No matter where you are in west Michigan there is something to do!

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...

This year, Restaurant Week will kick off with some good old fashioned fun with an inaugural pie-eating contest. I'll be taking on some of the area's community leaders and other media personalities from around Grand Rapids, and we will all be competing for the coveted title: "Restaurant Week Pie Eating Champion."

Dinner is about to get a little tastier.  Fulton Street Farmers Market is set to open at their newly remodeled location this Saturday.
