About Winterfest
Winterfest is a full weekend of winter fun in Grand Haven, Michigan during the last week of January. The snow is upon us, and with Michigan's winters being long and cold, this is a perfect time to get out and be active. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone warm and having a great time.
Winterfest began in 1979 and has grown into a big event along the West Michigan shoreline. This is an interactive festival with many participants getting involved from the very young to the old. Activities are indoors as well as outdoors.
