Donut And Beer Festival Returns To Grand Rapids This Fall

A delicious event is coming back to Grand Rapids!

After a year on the road, the nation’s original Donut and Beer Festival is making its sweet return to Grand Rapids.

Donut and Beer Festival Grand Rapids 2025

The first ever Donut and Beer Festival was held in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 2017. Since then, it has moved to different spots across the Midwest, like Battle Creek, Milwaukee, and Columbus.

Grand Rapids' Donut and Beer Festival 2025 is Saturday, Sept. 20th, 3-8 p.m. at LMCU Ballpark, home of the West Michigan Whitecaps.

This year’s fest will feature 30+ vendors slinging over 200 varieties of donuts—from classic glazed to wildly creative confections that look like they belong on a dessert show. And to wash it all down? You’ll find 150+ craft beers, wines, and ciders to sample.

There will also be live music, yard games, and other fun activities.
