Fifth Annual Historic Garden Walk

The Fifth Annual Historic Garden Walk in Grand Rapids, Ohio is Saturday, June 20, 2026 (rain date Sunday 6/21/26) where we will be celebrating the United States Semiquincentennial with red, white and blue blooms throughout the village!.

This year’s Historic Garden Walk will showcase The Town Hall Theater built in 1898, provide access to Ten Private Gardens (six favorites from the past and four new to you), the Village Sculpture Garden and Community Spaces, offer First Pick of the Season at GardenView Flowers, and give participants an opportunity to Shop and Eat in the Victorian Village of Grand Rapids, Ohio.

The Town Hall Theater in Grand Rapids Ohio was built in 1898 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thanks to the efforts of the Town Hall Committee Volunteers, the building has been restored to its original grandeur showcasing local events and performers. Garden Walk Participants will be taken behind the scenes to view the workings of the theater and to hear the stories and legends surrounding this historic site. Tours will be every 30 minutes from 10:00 to 3:000. Chairlift is available to the second floor, however, please note that not all areas are accessible friendly. No food or drinks are allowed in the Town Hall.

Your Garden Walk Package will be available for pick-up on Saturday from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm at the Town Hall located at 24282 Front Street, Grand Rapids, Ohio. You must pick up your package before you can enter the Town Hall and Private Gardens.

Parking is available in the lot west of the town hall, on Front Street and in the Public Parking Lot located through the alley between Front & W 2nd off of Beaver and Mill Streets. If initially parking next to the Town Hall, we request that you move your vehicles to the Public Parking Lot after picking up your tickets and completing the Town Hall Tour. This public parking area is ideal while you are visiting the West Side Gardens, Community Gardens, Village Shops and Restaurants.

Three West Side Gardens will be open from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.  Four East Side Gardens will be open from noon to 4:00 pm. Two South Side Gardens will be open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. No pets or strollers are allowed in the private gardens. GardenView Flowers is open until 4:00 pm.  Most Village Shops will be open until 5:00 pm and Restaurants will be serving throughout the day and evening.

Just as a heads up, the Grand Rapids exit on Route 24 will be closed this weekend for the Garden Walk. You will want to get off at either Waterville exits instead and take the scenic route down old 24 (a favorite route anyway). Don't let this stop you from coming out! The detour takes the same amount of time and is much prettier.

This event is sponsored by Grand Growers, a non-profit gardening group volunteering in Grand Rapids, Ohio.
