    ArtPrize is a yearly event that brings thousands of visitors to the downtown Grand Rapids area each…read morefall. The event has changed throughout the past 15 years it's been around, but it typically entails hundreds of art entries that are displayed downtown. Some are inside businesses, some are out on the street, and some are a bit hidden. There is a contest element to the event, with public vote winners as well as juried vote winners. I've always taken a very laid back approach to ArtPrize, preferring to just stumble upon installations as I make my normal way around the city. But there are venues that have large concentrations of art, including DeVos Place, the Grand Rapids Art Museum, and more. I think it would be impossible to see every single piece! ArtPrize maps are not really a "thing" - there was a web based map in 2024 but I found it super clunky and not at all user friendly. The event brings tons of people into the downtown area, making it really congested with traffic as well as a lot of foot traffic - I typically try to avoid driving downtown during this time. Overall it's an interesting event that has a lot of discourse around it (both positive and negative), but something to check out if you're interested in art.

    Had to walk a lot to see very little. Hadn't been to artprize in years and its definitely not what…read moreit was in its early years. Fun going downtown though and got some exercise!

    Grand Rapids Foodie Fest was a couple weekends ago, and I was so pumped to go!…read more We unfortunately waited until the last day of the fest, and the rain seemed to scare people away :/ There were still quite a few vendors (but not all that had been there I don't think) and the crowd was pretty small (which was probably to our benefit!) We had some delicious tacos, as well as deep fried oreos, so it wasn't completely a bust, but next time I will definitely go earlier on! (And hopefully it doesn't rain!) Also, don't get me started on the porta potty situation because it was BAD. Like, I refused to buy any drinks because I was not about to submit myself to that, kind of bad. Hopefully that was just a last-day thing because WOOF

    I really had high hopes for this fest. The reason we wanted to come was for the seafood truck;…read moreguess who wasn't there... so I ended up getting Jamaican food. Very disappointed. The rib tips were tough and the sauce was watery. This spot only gave about 1/2 cup of each side (no exaggeration) for $25. No way was it worth it. We also wanted lemonade but it was a wait for more ice. After about 10+ mins, we said "forget it". The egg roll guy was by himself and we weren't up for a longer wait. Not to mention, it was starting to rain. The port a potty's had to be full from day 1 because... no. On the upside, the fried Oreos, the salsa and guacamole vendor and all the taco spots were a hit with my family! I heard it was better last year. Hopefully it will be better next year.

I think it was $17 per ticket and you just check in at the podium near the bar when you arrive. They explained they system to us - give them a credit card to start a tab, then you can write your drink/food order on a paper and they'll come around throughout the show to grab your paper. Then they cash you out at your table right after the show. It was a quick and efficient system! They have canned beverage (alcohol and N/A) and some snacks - we enjoyed the Pop Corners and "Taste of Italy," which is a small plate of pizza rolls and mozzarella sticks. The show itself was SO funny! They did several fun skits, many of which involved audience suggestions. There were only a couple that didn't make me laugh as hard, but I was cracking up most of the show. It's incredible how the cast members can come up with things on the spot like that. One note, if you're a couple or group smaller than six people, you'll likely be seated at a table with others. We had fun chatting with our table mates but it would be a great group outing. I'm so glad we finally went back to The Comedy Project and am looking forward to seeing more shows! We went to the 7 pm show and they told us if we wanted to stay for the 9 pm show, you can get tickets for half off.

    As a 49 year old tradition in Grand Rapids, I feel that tug to return every year. I agree with…read moresome of the comments I have seen regarding the level of the arts presentations the last few years. The live performance art is well covered but I wonder if because of Art Prize we won't see the amount of art exhibits that we were used to in the past. I do miss that. The food this year was good. Seems to be a lot of the crowd favorites and that is good. Maybe a little more variety and maybe more food booths could be added? I don't think that the food is overpriced since some the organizations make this their largest fund raiser during the year. Cannot wait until next year to celebrate the 50th!

    I will be honest, I am completely biased about Festival. I love it. It's family; some of my…read moreearliest memories are volunteering at Festival and my family's involvement had a monumental impact on my life. I've lived away from GR for a number of years now and wasn't able to attend a few Festivals - being away has made me appreciate it even more. The accessibility to art is unprecedented (this includes performance and visual art) and all of the food booths are run by local non-profits. This thing we simply call, "Festival" is no doubt part of what puts GR and West MI on the map. Oh, and if you were the least bit curious... this is one of the largest all-volunteer run events in the country and occurs the first full weekend of every June.
