Gilda's Club Grand Rapids

In 2020, LaughFest was able to get started under pretty normal conditions, but after the first week everything had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus. Instead of cancelling or postponing the events for this year, the event will go virtual.

There are several fundraising events going on this weekend...from rappelling down the side of a building to walks and block parties. You can go back in time to the 80s or 90s, We have comedy, theater, Red Panda Day, the Symphony and a festival for Vegetarianism.

Superstars of comedy coming to Grand Rapids for LaughFest 2018 in March.
