Grand Rapids Foodie Fest 2026

The Grand Rapids Foodie Fest returns for its fifth year as a three-day celebration of local food and community. You'll find a wide variety of food vendors, shops, and live entertainment spread throughout the venue. Admission is completely free, and both card and cash payments are accepted at all vendor stalls. The festival runs Friday through Sunday, with extended hours on Saturday to give you plenty of time to explore. This is a genuinely family-friendly event where kids and adults can enjoy discovering new foods and entertainment together. If you're interested in adult beverages, a beer garden will be available for those 21 and older with valid ID. The venue is accessible, and you can find detailed accessibility information on their website. Just keep in mind that outside alcohol isn't permitted, and the event may be photographed for promotional use—let staff know if you'd prefer not to be included.
