With the governor’s announcement or restricting events of more than 100 people, many of the local entertainment organizations are working through plans or making announcements that activities are cancelled.

Bottomline: call before you head out to attend any activity.

Effective Monday, March 16, Grand Rapids Symphony staff will be working remotely, and the office will be physically closed through Friday, April 10.  Ticket inquiries and requests will be answered by phone on a limited basis.
