Visiting Central Michigan

Central Michigan is home to Grand Rapids, the Wolverine State’s second largest city. With winter’s snow Central Michigan is transformed into a seasonal wonderland. Grand Rapids' Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park lights up with the Christmas and Holiday Traditions exhibits and visitors explore the Miejer Sculpture Park aboard horse drawn carriage. Wyoming, Grand Rapids' largest suburb, draws model train enthusiasts for the 2012 Riverbend Model Train Show January 7th. Grand Haven residents and visitors find winter fun at Mulligans Hollow with the lighted ice ring and downhill ski and snowboarding area. Outside Grand Haven, Lake Michigan’s sand dunes make premier terrain for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

East Central Michigan is home to the Tri-Cities of Midland, Mount Pleasant and Bay City. Midland, birthplace of Dow Chemical Corporation remains home of Dow’s world headquarters. The ideal place to head inside for winter entertainment, the Midland Center for the Arts, hosts an exciting blend of art, science, history and performing arts. Join music fans February 18th for Simple Gifts performed by the Midland Symphony Orchestra. Theater Fans mark February 10th through the 19th on your calendar, for Treasure Island or March 9th through the 18th for Always Patsy Cline.

Celebrate your favorite brew back in Grand Rapids at the 7th Annual Winter Beer Festival. Held north of downtown Grand Rapids at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park, visitors sample Michigan’s best craft beers. Dress warm, the festival is held in the outfield parking lot. Don’t let winter stand in the way of a great time, as Michigan Brewers Guild brings out the best brews for Grand Rapids and surrounding communities.

Fashionistas, don’t miss “All Dressed Up-1950’s Style” at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. This exhibit of mid-century party gowns and memorabilia is a must-see. The exhibit runs through the end of February at the Grand Rapids Public Museum on Pearl Street.

Of course it’s not winter in Michigan, without a visit to Winterfest in Grand Haven. The 2012 Winterfest is January 26th through the 29th at various venues in and around Grand Haven. Beat Michigan’s winter blues with Glow-Bowl at Mulligan’s Hollow, the Intergalactic Human Sled Race down First Street in downtown Grand Haven or the Cardboard Sled Races also at Mulligan’s Hollow. Top off the weekend at Winterfest Luau Extravaganza – enjoy the heated tent with Sons of Beaches entertaining, while you sway among the tropical décor in short sleeves.

It is worth the quick 15-mile drive east to Coopersville for the 2012 Coopersville Annual Outhouse 500. An outrageous festival featuring teams with outhouses decorated parading down Main Street Coopersville. Join the fun February 25th, as outhouses race down 500 feet of Main Street. Events include a 5-k Run, live music and Chili Blast in addition to the outrageous Outhouse 500 Parade and Race. Nothing beats winter like fresh air and a good laugh in Western Michigan.
