The 411 in the 616: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I hope you have a scary good week because there are a ton of great events in Grand Rapids this week. If you love beer, shopping, movies, music or working out then scroll down and check out these fun events. If you’re dressing up, trick-or-treating with the kids, or checking out a haunted house it’s a great night to spend some time with friends and family. Have an awesome week!
