What is Festival of The Arts?
The Festival of the Arts is a three-day multimedia arts festival, held in Grand Rapids, Michigan on the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of June. Festival was first held in 1970, a year after the 1969 installation of Alexander Calder’s La Grande Vitesse, featuring two stages and a few food booths. The event grew quickly, filling the Vandenberg Plaza by the 1980s, and subsequently expanding into nearby streets, with several performance stages, and more than two dozen food booths.
