FREE Uptown ArtPrize Walking Tour + Wealthy Street Block Party

Looking to explore ArtPrize in a fresh way? This free guided walking tour takes families and art lovers through Uptown Grand Rapids with a local guide leading the way. The two-hour tour covers about a mile with plenty of stops, so there's no need to rush. You'll visit multiple ArtPrize venues and outdoor installations scattered throughout the neighborhood, learning the stories behind the art and discovering unique spots like a historic funeral home that's now a brewery. The tour kicks off at Art of the Table, where you can check out an outdoor mural and browse a pop-up makers market before heading out. The best part? The tour leads directly into the Annual Wealthy Street Block Party, so your afternoon doesn't have to end when the walking portion wraps up. You'll find food trucks, local artisans, and live music waiting on the lawn—just bring a blanket or lawn chair if you'd like to stay and relax. Adults can purchase Beer City beverages to enjoy during the stroll (valid ID required; drinks aren't included in the free tour). Since spots are limited, registration through Eventbrite is required to secure your place.
