Spring has Sprung!

As the weather starts to get warmer, spring into outdoor fun in West Michigan! We’ve included activities, things to do, and businesses that will make this 2024 spring season one for the books!

Grand Rapids Lantern Festival

April-June 2024

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!

Tulip Time Festival

May 4-12 2024

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!
