The City of Grand Rapids and the surrounding region have a long-standing history of diversity and various cultural traditions dating back from early explorers and fur traders to modern-day cultural rituals from new residents of the region. To celebrate this heritage, the Grand Rapids Public Museum hosts the annual Cultural Heritage Festival.
This annual festival brings our West Michigan community together to celebrate one another's cultures through conversations, food, music, dance, art, and more.
Additionally, the Museum hosts two core exhibitions with a primary focus on diversity and culture: Newcomers: The People of This Place, which highlights the ethnic groups that have settled the Grand Rapids area, and Anishinabek: The Original People of This Place, which focuses on the Anishinaabek traditions, language, and stories.
