Another weekend in Grand Rapids is here, and we’ve got three exciting activities for you to enjoy! Whether you’re up for a festive walk, a magical forest, or a classic ballet performance, there’s something for everyone.
Luminary Walk
First on the list is Caledonia Township’s 5th Annual Luminary Walk, happening Saturday at 6 P.M. This event takes place along the Caledonia Trail, illuminated by over 1,000 luminaries. After the walk, you can warm up with donuts and hot chocolate. Santa will be there to greet attendees, and the Dickens Carolers will be singing along the trail to add to the festive spirit.
If you’d like to spread some holiday cheer, there will also be a Toys for Tots donation box. For more details, check out the event on Facebook.
Winter Forest
Canonsburg is transforming its woods into a magical Winter Forest throughout December. The half-mile lit trail features holiday lights, festive scenes, and some of your favorite holiday characters. It’s a great opportunity to sing, dance, and immerse yourself in the holiday spirit.
