Supporting businesses and the community in working together to make Grand Ledge

a great place to live and do business

Summer is quickly ending! We finished our Music in the Park concert series last week, our Golf Outing was a success and the Market on the Grand only has a few Saturdays left. 

Thank you to the 38 business sponsors we had to financially support the community events we have completed so far in 2021.

There is still more fun this fall!

This month our Coffee and Conversation breakfast meetings are back, we are hosting a Business Expo  and a Mural is being painted in Bridge Street Plaza.

There are some collaboration projects with businesses for a story walk in October with the library and some festive plans in December with our local businesses!

Not to mention our fall fest is almost sold out and the Beer Fest tickets are going quickly!

Thank you to everyone who comes out, supports the events and our local businesses!

Eat, Shop, Live and Play right here in GL!

We will host Coffee and Conversation on Wednesday September 8th at 9am in the City Hall Community Room across from the chamber office.

Our Business Expo will take place in Bridge Street Plaza this year on Thursday September 16th
