The 411 in the 616: Hello September

I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! Summer has officially come to a close and Fall is on the horizon (even though it’s 90 degrees today). With a short week ahead I have a full list of fun events in Grand Rapids to keep you busy. From oysters to donuts here is the 411 in the 616 in Grand Rapids this week.

Noteworthy Events

Grab some friends and head to Long Road Distillers on Tuesday, September 6 starting at 4PM for $1 oysters! This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a cocktail and try some delicious oysters. You can also try a specialty shot flight of Horseradish Vodka, Chipotle Vodka and LRD Gin for only $6 to accompany your oysters. Cheers!

It’s a true sign of Fall when the corn maze at Robinette’s opens on September 8. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” the corn maze features Snoopy as the Red Baron. After making your way through the corn maze stick around to see the movie at 5 PM in the tent.
