It was a chilly day but a spokesperson for the event said it’s not anything Michiganders aren’t used to.

“We will have a variety of tents for people to go and enjoy and warm up a bit. We will also have a dance floor underneath the tent so plenty of options to keep you warm and happy and experience grand rapids how it is today,” Michele Ary said.

Tickets were sold early online or at the Fulton or Oakes Streets entrances. It’s $30 for general admission and $65 for VIP at the door.
