Calder Plaza

The City Of Grand Rapids will be removing four popular event spaces from the city's 'Social District' program.

One of the hardest-hit event categories during the pandemic has been beer festivals, but luckily we're starting to see more festivals hit our schedule, including West Michigan's biggest beer festival since February of 2020.

this weekend will mark the return of La Fiesta Mexicana at Calder Plaza in Grand Rapids. The 2020 in-person event was canceled and last year's event was held virtually.

Why cook when you can have traditional Greek and Polish food in one weekend?

A first of its kind in West Michigan!

It’s the final weekend before Christmas. That means there are many Christmas, Chanukah, and Winter related activities this weekend. We also have more tickets for the Grand Rapids Ball Drop on New Year’s Eve. And, if you want to travel back to the 80’s for a few hours...there are a couple of events to do just that!

ArtPrize Project 1 continues, along with Festival Mexicana, a River Cleanup, an Opening Night at The Haunt, Tractors, a Run, a Stair Climb, Buying a Car, and a Street Fair. There should be something for everyone in that mix of events!

Restaurant Week GR is underway! There are also a few festivals going on this weekend. It’s the Anniversary of Gerald R. Ford being sworn in as our 38th President, so it’s a reason to celebrate at the Presidential Museum. We also have Concerts, Comedy, Movies, Baseball, and Super Party Wonder Day!

This Sunday is Father’s Day! We have a whole list of different activities this weekend... From Chalk Art, to Food, to Festivals. We have Big Slides and Big Bounce Houses. Concerts, Celebrations and a K9K (and you can bring your dog!).

There are plenty of sporting events this weekend...from Baseball, Hockey, Boxing and even Roller Derby. We have a run for the ladies, comedy, landscaping, Super Heroes, a Pink Floyd Tribute Band, and it’s Record Store Day on Saturday and there is a parade!

We have sports, a night time nature hike, lots of stage productions, pet adoptions, a tree lighting, a Menorah lighting, and Christmas for the animals.

This is the last weekend of Summer. Fall officially arrives on Saturday at 9:54 pm. ArtPrize 10 is underway. There is also a Bridal Show, Festivals, Fundraisers, Music and Comedy, a Job Fair, a Freedom Cruise, and a chance to Recycle that Old Computer.
