Visit World of Winter in Grand Rapids

World of Winter 2022
(Jan. 7 - Mar. 6)

Annually, Grand Rapids, Michigan welcomes the World of Winter festival to the city. The festival takes full advantage of Michigan's cold climate to provide interesting ways for people to experience and enjoy the Winter season. The festival aspires to make Grand Rapids a more active winter city - which makes Grand Rapids a more active year-round city. All programming and activities are FREE, socially-distanced for these pandemic times and geared for both families and adults. World of Winter is organized by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc., the City of Grand Rapids and numerous community partners.
