The Christmas Lite Show at Fifth Third Ballpark is celebrating its 20th year!

Take the family out to see the nearly two mile long stretch of over one million lights, tunnels, and animated displays. The founder, Bill Schrader, donates a portion of the ticket sales to the Grand Rapids Veterans Home each year.

One of the best parts is you get to stay in your warm car and just cruise. The shows run from 6-9 p.m. through the month of December.

The cost is $17 per carload.

"The Nutcracker" returns to DeVos Performance Hall! Author Chris Van Allsburg’s re-imagining of the classic tale has been a smash with sold out performances so get your tickets soon.

The tale of Clara, sugar plum fairies, fighting mice, and more is shown in concert with the Grand Rapids Symphony. Don’t forget this Sunday is a special matinee with Clara’s Nutcracker Party before the show with food, characters from the show, crafts, and more.
