Enjoy the Christmas Lights in Downtown Grand Rapids

Downtown Grand Rapids is lit up and pretty spectacular this time of year! You can drive and see the lights, but even more fun is taking a short walk with your family.

A popular spot is the lights along Monroe Center, from the Children’s Museum down to Rosa Parks Circle.

Christmas light displays in downtown Grand Rapids include the massive Christmas tree.

Here you’ll see the city’s majestic Christmas tree and happy holiday-goers ice skating at the Rosa Parks Circle rink.

Ice skating at Rosa Parks is really fun. They have skate rentals and also walkers for those just learning to skate.

Continue your Christmas lights experience with a walk down Pearl toward the Amway Grand Plaza. The JW Marriott is dazzling in blue and the riverwalk is pretty, too.

Cross the bridge and head over to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum to see more lights along the water. If the museum is open, you could even head in to see their holiday train display (admission required).

  2. We drove past Impact church in Lowell multiple times on Sunday between 5:30-6:30 and there were no lights going. Seems they aren’t doing their show this year.

Also the Ada covered bridge was not lit up yet. Otherwise great listings! Thank you for putting this together!

  10. 198 West Ferney’s Ave in Clarksville is lit again this year after a couple of years with a much smaller display.

  16. Hi! Under the NE Grand Rapids list, you can remove the house on the corner of Pine Meadows & Blanca (Sierra Estates). 🙂 We bought that house this spring and while we enjoy decorating for Christmas, it’s not even close to the extent that the former owners decorated it. Thank you!
