March brings plenty of celebrations, from Mardi Gras to St. Patrick’s Day to Easter. Also on the calendar are crafts, films, history, exhibits, and much more.
The air is brisk and the events are plentiful. February brings Snowfest, a cello quartet, a journalism exhibit, a murder mystery, and a celebration of the art of Black hair.
The new year brings fun and entertaining events to West Michigan. There are concerts, museum exhibits, theater, crafts, fundraisers, music, a chili cook off, and a wine-tasting event.
West Michigan is in full holiday mode this December, with a singing Christmas tree, a festival of trees, a planetarium show, a fancy gala, holiday parades, glimpses of Christmases past, and New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The November calendar is chock full o’ stuff to do. There’s an exhibit-closing event, an annual gathering, a turkey trot, and several tree-lighting events throughout West Michigan.
On tap this month are the Idlewild exhibition, the Pumpkin Train, a gallery stroll, papermaking, a Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble, and — of course — trick-or-treating. They’re all on the West Michigan calendar for October.
Don’t miss the art, music, classes, shopping, library events, and cultural celebrations on the September calendar along the Lakeshore.
Independence Day is celebrated across the country, and the Lakeshore is no exception. Fireworks will streak across the sky in many Lakeshore communities. July events also include LAUP’s Fiesta, theater, garden walks, and street performances.
Whether you’re into walking tours, fun runs, or something altogether different, there is plenty to do along the lakeshore in June, including a D-Day commemoration, Pride Month events, music, old-time base ball.
