WMTA’s West Michigan Summer Trip Ideas You’ll Want to Try Now

The summer temperatures are hot in the western part of the state and if you can’t wait to get outside and do some sightseeing without having to go too far, then the West Michigan Tourist Association (WMTA) is here to help with suggestions that come just in time for Father’s Day and the ensuing long, sunny weekends.

Live Entertainment in Downtown Holland

Are you in search of a joyous and merry evening? Make sure to visit Downtown Holland every Thursday night of this summer from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. In addition to the Summer Street Performer Series, the streets will be full of musicians, magicians, artists, and acrobats–each week a new lineup through August 14. This is a fabulously, family-friendly local experience available to the dwellers. You can find out a complete weekly schedule on the Discover Holland website.

Blues and Brews in Marshall

Circle the date Saturday, June 21st when the city of Marshall will be holding the 20th annual Marshall Blues Festival. You will enjoy one of the most exhilarating performances from bands like The Jimmys and The Tweed Tones, to mention a few, plus get the chance to make use of loads of food and drink vendors at very low prices or even for free. The night of great music and local flavor in very much relaxed conditions is the by far right place. Full details and all involved are to be seen on the Marshall Blues Fest website.

Father’s Day Adventures at Crystal Mountain

Take your father out for a break from the routine of life and create great moments at Crystal Mountain on Father’s Day. For the whole month, you’ll be able to get discounted golfing that reaches the figure of 30% while on June 15, dads are accepted at the rate of 50% at the Park at Water’s Edge and are also allowed to use the Adventure Course and the Climbing Wall for a half-price only. Whoever is the recipient–adventurer or relaxer- Crystal Mountain has you covered. All the offers are well presented on the Crystal Mountain website.

If you love live music, outdoor activities, or just want to spend time with family, the WMTA’s trip ideas for the summer are all about appreciating what makes West Michigan such an active and engaging community.
