Take the City in Stride

As we enjoy the 2024 fall season…

…join Caroline for seasonally favorite walking tours with the continuing JOINT RECREATION DEPARTMENT series.  Registration for the walks are on one of five different local recreation department websites:  Caledonia, East Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids, Rockford or Wyoming.  There is a fee of $20 for each walking tour;  you register and pay on any of the above websites.  You do not need to be a resident of these communities to register.  

Coming up between now and the end of the year…

Grand Rapids Most Haunted

Back by popular demand…Do you believe in ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, apparitions, phantoms, spooks, psychic phenomena or things that go “bump” in the night? If one person sees a ghost, even if several times, you may blame it on an active imagination; but if two or more people see the same spirit in the same place several years apart, you may just reconsider.  This tour takes you by iconic locations where there have been waaaaay MORE than just two sightings or unusual activity.   There are two questions that we attempt to answer on each stop of this spooky journey…Did someone suffer a tragic death here?  Is this story LEGEND or REAL?

Monday, October 28, 6:00 p.m.  Meet in the lobby of the JW Marriott Hotel, 235 Louis Street N.W.

Heritage Hill Victorian Christmas

Lets pretend its December at the turn of the century, during the reign of Queen Victoria.  Grand Rapids has earned the title of Furniture City USA.  The owners of the impressive mansions are celebrating the holidays in style. As we move through the beautiful neighborhood in the evening, we’ll enjoy the festive lighting, learn about the original owners of the homes and share Victorian Christmas traditions.  

Wednesday, December 18, 6:00 p.m.  Meet at the SE corner of Prospect and Fulton.

Or,  to arrange for a private group tour or presentation at a day/time of your choice, contact Caroline directly.  She is the owner and sole employee… a wildly enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour ambassador who is as passionate about local lore as she is about fitness.

Run. Walk. Ride. Kayak. Listen.

Love Grand Rapids.
