May 21st is World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development! Today, we celebrate how culture brings people together, sparks dialogue, and builds more inclusive communities. 💬 Here in Grand Rapids, local festivals and events offer a window into the diverse cultures that shape our region. Celebrate the people and stories that make our community thrive!🎉 (fb)

We had the pleasure of interviewing Stacy, Executive Director of Friends of Grand Rapids Parks, for our “It Starts with a Visit” series! Stacy recounts his journey of discovering Grand Rapids and how the city’s community, rich cultural experiences, and welcoming atmosphere inspired him to become an active part of it. To learn more about Stacy's story, watch the video! (fb)
