You’ll have your pick of New Year’s Eve celebrations this weekend, but several other fun activities are also taking place for those who want to end 2017 on a high note. If you can stand the arctic temps, head outdoors and enjoy Grand Rapids in all its splendor. For those looking to stay warm, enjoy some live music and dance until you’re a sweaty mess.
