Okay, okay, it’s arguably the busiest season of the year. But I know West Michiganders (and some of our visitors, too!) are always looking for things to do with the family. So, if you find yourself looking for something to do to get out of the house, I’ve got you covered with my top 5 local events for the weekend (from Holland to St. Joe)!
Fennville
Ooo la la, wine pairing with cookies? Yes please! This event sounds super fun and I absolutely LOVE the wine at Modales Winery in Fennville. So check this out: Modales is hosting a guided wine pairing and bringing in Cakabakery Cookies. Side note: Cakabakery makes all of its desserts from real, fresh, local ingredients. You’ll get 5 wines paired with 5 cookies. Enjoy the cozy, holiday vibe. While you’re there, pick up some gifts of wine for those miscellaneous people on your list! Tickets here! ($25/person) Saturday 11-6pm
Holland
Soul Skate Adult Night at RollXscape Skating Rink. Sunday night event, this Sunday 12/5! 8 – 11pm. $10 admission, $4 skate rental.
Saugatuck
Outdoor Holiday Market | Saturday 9-3 at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts (outside pavilion). Support from 1 to 40 (yes FORTY) local vendors while you knock out that holiday shopping list! What will be at this event? High end crafts, home decor, wearables, jewelry, paper goods, artisan baked goods, greens, and much more! You can also enjoy some warm beverages! See you in Sauggy!
