Welcome to Festival of the Arts 2012

Plan now to attend Festival of the Arts!

June 1-2-3, 2012 - Downtown Grand Rapids

Festival is the only arts event in West Michigan that really brings it all together: Performers, activities, food, family, and fun - all packed into a spectacular three-day weekend in June. We're so proud to be a part of this annual summer kick-off in West Michigan.

Every one of us is a volunteer - another Festival exclusive. We're all working hard to make Festival 2012 a truly memorable event for you and your family. If you'd like to be part of the Festival family of volunteers, we'd love to have you. Just click on Get Involved  at the top of the page. Or call us on the Festival hotline, 616-459-1300.

One more thing: Festival relies on community support for its very existence. We’re a nonprofit organization, so if you’d like to donate to Festival, please click Get Involved at the top of the page.

A great big, West Michigan-size THANK YOU goes out to all the donors and volunteers who make Festival possible!
