In today’s culture, eating locally and maintaining a healthy
lifestyle is a priority and West Michigan makes it easy for
families and individuals to eat well.
When you see a stand set up on the side of the road selling
seasonal fruits and vegetables, stop the car and discover some
of West Michigan’s finest freshness. Choose the cherries or
the blueberries to snack on, and be pleasantly surprised by
their sweetness. When you arrive home, grill hamburgers and
serve them with the sweet corn you found - you’ll be glad you
stopped.
There is a farmer’s market in almost every town in West
Michigan and the vendors can’t wait to share with you what
they have grown. Michigan apples, blueberries, cantaloupe,
cherries, nectarines, peaches, pears, pumpkins, raspberries, corn and strawberries; each selection
as delicious as the next. The markets may also offer you handmade jewelry, soaps and candles.
These, along with the produce you purchased, all make great gifts to bring home to those who
couldn’t join you on your trip.
A visit to a local farm in the area is sure to furnish all of the fresh produce you could desire;
you may even be able to pick it yourself! Along with homegrown produce, farms offer an array
of entertainment opportunities. Enjoy a healthy and fun outing with the family and spend an
afternoon roaming through corn mazes, taking tours, visiting the animals at the petting zoos and
eating a picnic lunch. Stop by the bakery and the gift shop before you leave, because chances are
they’ll have homemade pie, jam or syrup for you to take with you.
West Michigan is known for its coastline, but diversity in agriculture is the backbone of the
area. Spring, summer and fall provide the perfect time for farm markets and u-pick orchards.
Take advantage of the farms and markets on your next trip to West Michigan. For more

FESTIVALS
& EVENTS
Sponsored by
In West Michigan, each characteristic that makes the area
distinct is grounds for a celebration. Events and festivals in West
Michigan commemorate our unique heritage, the changing of the
seasons and the lively arts scene to name a few. Grand Rapids
is home to a leading cultural destination that takes the form of a
public garden; Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. There,
celebrations happen all year long.
In West Michigan, countless festivities take place during
spring and summer. Tulip Time Festival in Holland is an example
of a spring event that celebrates the blooming of millions of tulips
with parades, street scrubbing and costumed Klompen Dancers.
Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven is a summer favorite that
Grand Rapids
honors the United States Coast Guard with food, Ferris wheels
and fireworks. At Meijer Gardens spring means the highly
anticipated Foremost’s Butterflies Are Blooming exhibit. Summer
brings the famous summer concert series featuring world-renowned musicians such as Willie
Nelson, Lyle Lovett, The Pointer Sisters and BB King. The warm weather is a good time
for celebrations in West Michigan, but don’t rule out autumn and winter as times to visit a
fantastic fair.
The changing of the leaves paints a landscape of lively color and harvest festivals. At
Meijer Gardens seasonal favorites include the ColorFall exhibition spanning the month of
October, which highlights the colors and features Fall Family Day & Herb Fest, a festival
devoted to the numerous uses for herbs. The gift of snow and ice that emerge in the winter
months make for excellent opportunities for wintertime events and festivals. Meijer Gardens’
Christmas and Holiday Traditions Around the World showcases more than forty holiday displays
and trees from around the world.
The vibrant art scene of West Michigan is celebrated year-round. The Grand Rapids
Festival of the Arts is the area’s premier arts event, featuring the area’s best
amateur and professional performers and artists.
At Meijer Gardens, art always takes center stage. This year, Meijer
Gardens will have three major exhibitions celebrating the arts. First up
is Art of Africa: Objects from the Collection of Warren M. Robbins, followed
by seventy-three sculptures created by Edgar Degas, including Little
Dancer, Aged Fourteen. The last major exhibition during 2008 will
feature artist Jaume Plensa. Internationally acclaimed
as among the most innovative and profound
artists across the Contemporary art scene, Plensa
will be the subject of a major exhibition involving
both interior gallery spaces and exterior sites
in the gardens. To find out more visit www.
meijergardens.org.

FOOD
- AND -
West Michigan provides a wide range of culinary options to
entice an array of palettes. Whether you enjoy the simple delight of
biting into a juicy peach, or the more sophisticated taste of Spanish
Tapas washed down with a sip of an award-winning Michigan
wine…West Michigan is sure to please any and all food lovers!
Discover fine dining that will stimulate your taste buds. Chefs
in West Michigan are inspired by the bounty of the state’s agriculture. This brings
creativity to the cooking process and often a change of menu with a change of
season. A celebrated side dish during spring is steamed asparagus. Much of this
stalky delight is grown near the Lake Michigan shoreline. The world-famous cherry
orchards of Traverse City are one of West Michigan’s most-beloved features, and are
flaunted every year at their Cherry Festival. While in Traverse City enjoy a twist on
the chicken salad sandwich - they’ve added cherries.
The bounty of the lakes gives way to freshwater fishing. Fish such as smelt,
whitefish and perch are eaten year-round. Lake Michigan also makes ideal growing
conditions for delicious morel mushrooms, blueberries, peaches and strawberries.
Delight in a frosty mug of Michigan-made beer or a glass of your favorite West
Michigan wine along with any of these West Michigan treats.
Discover the wines of West Michigan. Given the cooler climate, there is potential
for many different varieties. Invest your time by traveling to the over 50 vineyards
located in Michigan and sample several. Most wine grapes grow within 35 miles of
Lake Michigan, and vineyards are found on the Leelanau Peninsula and
Old Mission Peninsula, in Fennville and along the Lake
Michigan shore. Home brewers enjoy New Holland
Brewery for their unique creations of beers made
right in their facilities. Of course, for dessert take
pleasure in the famous fudge of Mackinaw.
Take a walk down the city streets of downtown
Grand Rapids; enjoy the music, the shops and the
commotion of the city. Meander down the pier in
Manistee; enjoy the sunset, the water and the sand.
Wherever you choose to visit in West Michigan you
will have beautiful sights
and a plethora of options for
tempting food and drinks.
Because in West Michigan
we know that when food
and spirits are on the
table, everyone will have
a good time. To try a taste
of West Michigan visit

OUTDOOR
When looking for ways to get active outdoors you don’t have
to look far. West Michigan is an amusement park full of outdoor
adventures. The best part is that West Michigan provides four distinct
seasons, each offering countless possibilities for exploring the outdoors.
Discover a summer encompassed by days at the beach. Lake
Michigan beaches are known for their beauty and there are plenty of
ways to enjoy your time there. Walk barefoot on the soft white sand,
climb the towering sand dunes covered in green beach grass and hear
the children squeal with laughter as they run down them. The beaches make for exhilarating opportunities to
try windsurfing, scuba diving or kayaking. For the less adventurous - take a dive in the white-capped water
or on a calm day lounge on a raft atop the cool lake while soaking in the sun and reading a book. Stay until
the end of the day to take in the most mesmerizing sunset.
When you visit during autumn, you won’t be at a loss for outdoor activities. Take a hike or ride your bike
along one of the many state trails. Get lost in a maze made of corn after you pick a pumpkin or some of West
Michigan’s famous honeycrisp apples. Curl up in a blanket next to the campfire under the starlit sky. Pick
fresh fruits and vegetables at any of the orchards in West Michigan. Go hunting, play tennis, bird watch - all
of this and more awaits your autumn visit!
When winter arrives the snow follows soon after. Skiing, ice-skating and snow tubing
are just a few of the activities that West Michigan has in store for you during
the winter months. Venture outside your comfort zone and
attempt ski-skating, the luge in Muskegon or moonlit snow
shoe hikes in Ludington. The winter months can be just
as active as the warmer months with so many destinations
featuring outdoor activities you will not be at a loss of ideas.
Spring brings flowers, festivals and the idea that soon we
can head back to those Lake Michigan beaches. Welcome the
warmer weather by visiting the historic lighthouses of West
Michigan. Engage the children by bringing them to a day at the
zoo or discovering the beauty of a nature center. Take pleasure in
playing a round of golf at one of West Michigan’s fabulous courses.
West Michigan is the place to be for those who love outdoors in any
season. Visit www.wmta.org for more outdoor recreation.

PLACES
TO STAY
Whether you enjoy the commotion of the big city or the
relaxation of the great outdoors, West Michigan is the perfect
destination. If you are planning to visit family or friends, a
vacation or a business trip, you will certainly be surprised by
the diversity of your surroundings. Visit the beaches along
the world’s longest freshwater coastline, discover the quaint
shopping districts, the festivals and the celebrations in big
cities and outdoor sites all over West Michigan. While you
are here, find a place to stay that fits your agenda, budget and
style.
Try pitching a tent and starting a summertime campfire
at one of the campgrounds. Rent a cottage or a cabin on a lake
of your choice, and while enjoying the great outdoors, you
will feel safe knowing that the mosquitoes will not be joining you in bed. During winter, stay
at a cozy Bed and Breakfast or select a full-service resort where you can spend the day on
the slopes and end the day warming up by the fireplace with hot cocoa. Wake up the next
morning and head right back to the ski lift or skip the skiing and opt for a relaxing massage.
All in all, the best reason to travel to West Michigan is to relax and enjoy a day filled
with shopping, museums and attractions. Get active on a great lake with boating, canoeing,
swimming or enjoy hiking, horseback riding, cycling on dry land. When you are here for
leisure your days will be gratifying, and if a hotel is your way to relax, choose Choice Hotels
of Michigan because they are committed to making your retreat in West Michigan most
enjoyable. The Choice Hotels family can be found everywhere you are and include Clarion,
Quality, Comfort, Sleep, Econolodge and Rodeway Inn.
There is a Choice Hotel to meet all your needs.
Discover the hidden pleasures along the West Coast
of Michigan and make it an experience you will love to
remember! The popular Choice hotels offer numerous
amenities to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable
and, as always, kids stay for free. Use this guide as a way
to plan your next visit to West Michigan and look for
Choice Hotels for a place to stay. For more information visit

SHOPPING
Shopping in West Michigan isn’t about searching for the things you
need, it’s about discovering bits and pieces that will leave an impression.
A great shopping experience happens when you feel like you are on a
treasure hunt. It happens when you find something for yourself or your
home that will have people asking, “where did you find that?” If what
you’re looking for can’t be found in all the usual places, try your luck at
one of the many specialty shops throughout West Michigan.
In our quaint shopping districts, you’ll find merchandise with personality. Look for these treats in gently used
clothing stores. If you are hoping for quirky, charming or truly one-of-a-kind fashion you may have to look beyond the
norm. Seek the boutiques where their entire inventory consists of hemp goods. Or you may prefer
the hand-made bohemian clothes. The charming, the vintage and the eye-catching boutiques are
where the fashion lovers will find greatness.
To add to the art of fashion, West Michigan also offers more traditional art. Handmade toys,
ceramic plates and stained glass knickknacks - when you purchase art on your visit it will be a
constant reminder of the fun you had while you were here. Why not visit a gallery or artist’s
studio to purchase a one-of-a-kind gift? Or buy a piece of furniture from a funky modern design
store. Take a trip to one of the many arts and craft fairs put on throughout the year and discover
the many talented artists that call West Michigan home.
Finding the thriving shopping districts is like discovering a hidden gem. The overflowing
opportunities of interesting shops--ranging from upscale clothing to music stores to natural bath
products to used bookstores. Make a day of shopping because intertwined with all of the shops
you will find several forms of entertainment such as museums and fine arts theatres. Don’t
forget to visit a brewpub or cafe to relax, rest your feet and enjoy a delicious meal.
Traverse City, Grand Rapids, Rockford, Pentwater, Holland, Saugatuck, South Haven, Elk
Rapids and Grand Haven are just a few towns in which you will discover these little-known
treasures. When you feel like taking a stroll through the city--take the time to wander around
the shopping districts and you’re sure to find a day full of adventure. For more information on
shopping in West Michigan visit www.wmta.org.

THINGS
TO DO
Discover the countless things to do in West Michigan
every day of the year. Anyone making their way toward
West Michigan for the first or fortieth time looks forward
to activities that highlight the changing seasons. One of
West Michigan’s favorite four-season, full-service resorts
is no exception. Double JJ Ranch & Golf Resort, just 20
minutes north of Muskegon in Rothbury has offered
adventure-packed, Western-style getaways and events for
the past 70 years.
During any season of the year, indoor waterparks
prove to be a blast, and they are splashing up all over
West Michigan. Double JJ ‘s Gold Rush indoor waterpark
is a 60,000 square foot mining-themed attraction, which
includes multiple pools, four thrill slides, a Lazy/Crazy
River, dumping mine cart, rope bridges and wave pool. At
Gold Rush, a good time will be had by children of any age.
Fun begins in spring with one of West Michigan’s
favorite pastimes. Michigan is home to over 1,000 golf
courses, and the greatest are right in the western half of
the state. From small 9-hole courses to world-class golf
resorts, beginners and experienced golfers alike will find
something to test their ability along the links of West Michigan. Golf in West Michigan is exceptional
and at Double JJ an 18-hole Arthur Hills designed championship Thoroughbred course is a good
place to prove this.
Summers are for playing in the sun and water with beaches, amusement parks and camping
trips. When the weather turns cooler, West Michigan comes alive under a colorful canopy of
autumn leaves. The Fall Festival at Double JJ begins in late September
and continues every weekend through Halloween. Haunted
activities fill this time as well as day-long horseback rides that
take guests to nearby Lake Michigan and back.
When the snow begins to fall, Double JJ is transformed
into a winter wonderland, complete with competitions on the
tubing hill and dog sled races. Cross country skiing, snow
shoeing, sleigh rides, horseback rides and even dog sled rides
help pass the time. There’s endless fun to be
had at Double JJ, no matter the season! For
details, call 800-DOUBLE-JJ or log on to www.
doublejj.com.
West Michigan has things to do for all
ages, any type of adventure, during any of
the area’s distinct seasons. Visit www.wmta.
org for more “Things to Do.”

VISITOR
INFOMATION
Thinking of traveling to West Michigan? Discover
some of area’s most exciting ways to spend your time.
If there are people that call you a nature lover, you
are going to need information on hiking trails, state
parks and the best views of Lake Michigan. If you
prefer to spend the day shopping, you are going to
AREA CONVENTION
want to find the whereabouts of outlet stores, antique
& VISITORS BUREAU,
shops and mega-malls. If culture is what you want,
you will need to find the museums, art galleries and
performance venues.
You don’t have to do all of the planning yourself,
however. Tourist and Visitors Bureaus as well as
Chambers of Commerce are excellent resources
for anyone traveling to West Michigan. These organizations offer multiple ways to find
information about your trip. There are many reasons people take trips, and the people here
would like to offer you as much information about the what and where as possible.
At the Mecosta County Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, there is an abundant amount
of information covering the attractions, activities, events, facilities and services available
in their area. Mecosta County is a place for year-round fun; whether you enjoy springtime
fishing, summertime tubing, fall color tours, or winter snowmobiling. The staff at Mecosta
County Area Convention & Visitors Bureau will tell you - for those who love to hike or
jog in warm weather, are enthralled by autumn leaves or can’t wait for winter to strap on
those cross-country skis - the Big Rapids Riverwalk is a great way to do any of your favorite
outdoor activities.
Conveniently located in the center of Big Rapids, Riverwalk is one of the area’s mostloved features. A 2.64-mile stretch of nature at its finest; the pathway is completely accessible
to all as it gently follows the majestic Muskegon River. Starting at historic downtown Big
Rapids, the Riverwalk winds its way to Northend Riverside Park. The trail includes four
handicapped-accessible fishing areas: three wooden platforms with
barrier free fishing rails and rod holders, also a paved approach to the
river’s edge.
While visiting West Michigan, take a morning jog in spring, view
the scenery while biking in the summer, enjoy a colorful walk in the
fall, or cross-country ski in the winter. No matter what the season, be
sure to experience Riverwalk in Mecosta County – the County For
Every Season! For more information on planning your next trip visit
www.bigrapids.org or www.wmta.org.

scenic roads and too many old trails to count. Shipwrecks. Abandoned old cabins. Beaver dams. Splendid fall colors. The
beauty of wildflowers. The more people enjoy just getting away, the more they love Beaver Island.

NEW IN 2008:
THUNDERHAWK!
MICHIGAN’S ONLY FLYING COASTER
For anyone who’s ever wanted to know what it feels like to fly, Michigan’s Adventure introduces our new Thunderhawk.
This suspended coaster will have you screaming across the sky as you’re rocketed through 5 inversions over 2,260 feet
of track! It’s a flying experience like none you’ve had before. Plus we have 6 other thrill-inducing coasters, including
Shivering Timbers, rated one of the best wooden coasters in the world. And then there’s WildWater Adventure, our
splashtacular water park.You always get into both parks for one low price. So pay once to ride and slide all day long.
