HOLLAND, Mich. — The last year has been stressful for pretty much everyone. That's why businesses in downtown Holland believe this year's Girlfriends Weekend is as important as ever.
"It’s a great getaway for women. I think all women right about now could use a little break from their families and work, and Girlfriends Weekend is a good opportunity to do that," said Downtown Holland Marketing Coordinator Kara de Alvare.
Participants must register in advance online for $20. That gets them a swag bag and a coupon book for 45 participating restaurants and businesses.
All businesses involved in the event will be following state guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19. There also will not be any large group events or brunch this year.
If you register and then get sick before the event, you are asked to cancel your registration. You will be given a refund.
