Special events highlight the year in Grand Rapids.  The flood watch of Spring draws thousands to view in awe the power of Mother Nature.  Rapids Rally Days add fun and frolic to mid-summer.  The fall season brings color tours to the river valley and the very successful Applebutter Fest.  Finally, the Christmas Season brings festive decorations, the Open House Celebration, and a glimpse of Christmas long ago.
