Spring Events 2018

The snow this April hasn't been deep enough to ski but it sure hasn't felt very Spring-like.  Kalamazoo will eventually have warmer weather for hiking, biking, or bird watching.  Warmer temperatures will also bring wildflowers and morels.

Many West Michigan festivals and activities celebrate Spring.
