GRAND RAPIDS, MI, May 18, 2017 — The Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM) is pleased to announce the lineup for its ninth annual GRAM on the Green free outdoor summer concert series.
Running for six weeks throughout July and August, the concert series features some of the best local and regional talent Grand Rapids has to offer. Guests of all ages are invited to relax on the Museum’s outdoor terrace and enjoy free live music, dancing, food trucks, art-making activities, and a cash bar.
“The Grand Rapids Art Museum is thrilled for the return of GRAM on the Green in its ninth season,” commented Communications Manager, Elizabeth Payne. “Visit the heart of downtown Grand Rapids on Thursday nights and see our city landscape come to life as a dynamic and inclusive gathering space.”

The festivities don’t stop outside — admission to the Museum is free during GRAM on the Green evenings from 5 pm — 9 pm, as it coincides with Meijer Free Thursday Nights.
