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.

Plus, for the second consecutive year, WYCE will be broadcasting performances during the weekly GR Live show on 88.1 FM
