Relax at Rosa—Grand Rapids’ free lunchtime entertainment series—is back on Thursday, May 7.

The music series produced by Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. (DGRI) has become a lunchtime tradition during the spring, summer and fall. Head to Rosa Parks Circle every Thursday, from 12-1:30 p.m., for a rotating lineup of free live music and food trucks.

This year, Relax at Rosa once again features the incredible talents of 21 unique local and Michigan-based bands and performers. The series runs from May to September,, providing a midday opportunity for Downtown workers, residents and visitors to get outside, have some lunch, listen to some tunes and connect with their community.
