West Michigan Global Gathering

The Global Gathering is back! This vibrant annual festival celebrates the cultures, cuisines, and stories that make our community strong. Join neighbors from across Kent County for a joyful day filled with cultural performances, hands-on workshops, family-friendly activities, and global cuisine. New this year: a **Farmers Market featuring local vendors** offering fresh produce, artisan goods, and products that reflect the rich cultural heritage of our community.

From dance performances and cooking demos to henna, coffee ceremonies, and hair-braiding workshops—there’s something for everyone to explore. We hope to see you there! This free event is hosted by the West Michigan Welcome Plan Collaborative and is open to all.
