A suburb on the rise
Grand Ledge is a quaint suburb of Lansing that’s growing in population and business development. This city got its name from being situated along the Grand River. It was once recognized as a resort area at the turn of the 19th century, being a popular tourist destination. The city’s heart shines through art, which connects back to its history. “The people really make the community. I moved here seven years ago, and as soon as I drove in, it felt comforting, and it felt like home,” says Grand Ledge Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Amy Hoyes. “What keeps me here is all the amenities in the community plus the feeling of being home.”

During summer, locals crowd to this park for the happening community events. Kids will go crazy for the fun splash pad and swing set area. Take a breezy walk along the Riverwalk Trail and Wide Walk, or head out on the water in the canoes. Fitzgerald Park is a 78-acre spot on the northwest end of the city. “Fitzgerald Park is on the outskirts. It’s huge, with lots of trails,” Hoyes says. “That park draws a lot of people. There are old sandstone ledges, and a lot of people walk on the trails to view those.”

Shops on Bridge Street
“We definitely had more retail pop up on our Main drag called Bridge Street, including boutique outlets,” Hoyes says. “You can walk up and down Bridge Street and get breakfast and shop.” Toads is a smaller café that’s beloved for its eclectic décor, coffee, and light lunch options like paninis and salads. Enjoy a hefty and homemade dinner from Cugino’s. This family restaurant serves decadent Italian favorites of pasta, pizza and calzones. Flour Child Bakery and Café has some of the best bagels in Lansing, being named best from 2019 to 2022. Weekly groceries can be grabbed at Meijer just off Saginaw Highway. “There’s local Grand Ledge items, antiques, arts and craftsy stuff,” Hoyes says. “There are different bars. It’s livable and walkable. We can walk to the library and the riverwalk.”

Grand Ledge loves parades
Events in Grand Ledge are typically put together by the Chamber of Commerce and draw big crowds. “We do 12 free community events a year. Yankee Doodle Day is popular, and that kicks off summer. That’s kind of our Fourth of July celebration,” Hoyes says. “This event has a parade component. We do free concerts for nine weeks in the summer in Jaycee Park. In the fall, we do a fall festival. It includes crafts, vendors, food, and beer.” Locals are also drawn to the parades held throughout the year. “We love parades. The chamber alone does three parades a year. St. Patrick’s Day, Yankee Doodle and the Night Light Christmas Parade,” Hoyes said.
