Are they going to do another Pizzapalooza this year? I thought that was a great festival! Anyone know?

I'll be in GR and west Michigan this coming weekend (August 6th) and I hope there's some outdoor street fests going on downtown then as well! If so keep updating posts!

Ya, I'll be in GR too on the 6th. I'm hoping to take some cool pics. Are there any events goin on the weekend of the 6th?

While you are in GR this coming weekend, take a quick drive (40 minutes) over to Grand Haven and check out the Coast Guard Festival. The last two days are Saturday and Sunday, and it is a HUGE event. Beach volleyball tournaments, ship tours, a lot of people watching, fireworks Saturday night, and lots of food and beverages .

Also, you could pick up the Grand Rapids Magazine's City Guide at these locations:

There are quite a few things going on, so this is probably the best resource to start.

It's not supposed to be as hot/humid this weekend, so it should be nice

GRNow is a pretty good source for weekend activities, I just discovered.

The coast guard festival was very fun, but wayyyy too crowded. I could barely find a parking spot.

Yeah. I thought about that after I suggested it. The weather was just about perfect this weekend.
