This newer GR festival located at the John Ball Zoo is arguably one of the most popular things to do in Grand Rapids in the spring now!
The festival was a big hit last year, and it is this year as well!

I almost feel like West Michigan wouldn’t be West Michigan without Tulip Time. It is a celebration of two things: Dutch heritage and tulips! Tulip Time is a week-long event held in the cute town of Holland, Michigan, and has a variety of events geared toward families and children as well as adults!
There are tons of shows and musicals taking place in the spring around the city. There are a couple that you can look forward to this year:
Open year-round
In the spring at Frederik Meijer Gardens you’ll find the ever-popular “Butterflies are Blooming” exhibit and the cherry blossoms at the Japanese Gardens. Meijer Gardens is definitely a Grand Rapids staple piece and favorite.
In Comstock Park, you’ll find Grand Rapids’ very own baseball team, the Whitecaps. The West Michigan Whitecaps make going to a baseball game as fun as it can be with all the extra events, themed days, and mascots! This is the perfect thing to do with your family on a nice spring day.
May 18+19, 2024
One of the coolest things that goes on in West Michigan in the spring is the Kite Festival that takes place along the lakeshore each year! Grab your kite and join in on the fun or venture out to go watch!
