Green Gala: Be here for our city parks’ future

Thursday, Aug. 24, 7 p.m.
There is something really cool about a growing gala in our city that encourages you to ride your bike, take a bus, or even walk to attend. And that is one of the joys of the Friends of Grand Rapids Parks annual Green Gala which moves this year across the river from its previous location to the Sixth Street Bridge Park on Monroe.

Each year since it started, this event helps the organization made up of community volunteers to further its mission to protect, enhance, and expand our city’s parks, public spaces, and urban forest.

This year, they change the format and move to different location, adding new elements of entertainment to the mix in a fresh reboot.

With each ticket purchased, you will enjoy locally sourced food, along with a cash bar to enjoy the delicious elixirs produced in our city from Brewery Vivant, Farmhaus, and Long Road Distillery.

So be impulsive and head to the riverbank of the Sixth Street Bridge Park for a wonderful night at our favorite gala of the year.
