Area Information

Grand Rapids is a city that combines urban sophistication with small-town warmth, and is Michigan's second largest city. It offers all the big-city amenities and excitement you can imagine. Yet it's also a region of abundant natural wonders, where outdoor recreation is a year-round pursuit. This unique mix of attributes has made Grand Rapids one of the Midwest's hottest convention spots. There are no longer any rapids to be found in the Grand River as it winds its way through downtown – but there are plenty of fishermen casting for trout, salmon and steelhead amidst the vibrant energy of our city streets. (No wonder Field & Stream Magazine named Grand Rapids America's 6th Best Fishing City.) Downtown has more than 75 hotels, restaurants, museums, and sports and entertainment venues within a five-minute walk of each other. Only in Grand Rapids can you find such an incredible variety and diversity of things to do, all so close together and easy to get to.

The Average High Temperature in late September is 68 F with a historical range of 46 F to 89 F.
