Taste of Grand Rapids is moving to Comstock Park.
Fifth Third Ballpark will host the annual event, which runs July 19 and July 20. The ballpark also hosted Taste of Grand Rapids in 2004. Facility events manager Craig Yust says Taste of Grand Rapids’ organizers likely moved the event back to the ballpark because the event was starting to outgrow its current location at John Ball Zoo.
This year’s Taste of Grand Rapids will run in conjunction with the West Michigan Trucking Show. The big rig show will take place in Fifth Third Ballpark’s parking lot, along with Taste of Grand Rapids’ traditional barbecue competition. Food vendors will fill the ballpark’s concourse for Taste of Grand Rapids. Yust says Clear Channel is still lining up musical acts, which will perform on the ball field.
Taste of Grand Rapids will run 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. July 19, and 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
