Men's Weekend

Grand Rapids Griffins

Right about now could you go for the sight of some cool cars, the sound of a slap shot and the feel of a new driver in your hands as you tee off? Get your friends together for some February fun, just for the guys!

Still thinking about those cool cars? You’ll see plenty of them at the 9th Annual Michigan International Auto Show at the DeVos Place February 1-4. You and your buddies can be a part of the most highly attended public auto show, right in Grand Rapids. See hundreds of the latest model cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and sports cars from all the major manufacturers. Also get a taste of what’s next in the industry as you get to see concept and pre-production vehicles.

After spending the day at the auto show, you and the guys can take in a Grand Rapids Griffins hockey game. You’ll be hearing and seeing slap shots galore as the Griffins take on the Peoria Rivermen on Saturday, February 3. Griffins’ action is the kind you won’t want to miss!

Since cars, hockey, and golf might be a bit too much fun for just one weekend, the fun continues the weekend of February 9. Start thinking early morning tee-times and summer golf get-aways as the 19th Annual West Michigan Golf Show brings the best of the links to DeVos Place.

You and the golfing buddies can plan your summer’s golf course wish list and shop for new clubs and equipment while you visit the show’s 100-plus vendors. By the time the snow melts and the greens are manicured, you’ll be more than geared up to golf!
