GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A big weekend is here now that the Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer & Food Festival returns.
The festival, now in its 18th year at DeVos Place, is this Friday and Saturday.
This festival is bringing 1,200 wines, beers, ciders, and spirits from around the world, 200 more than last year.
Guests are also going to have a chance to take their taste buds on tour as chefs serve up culinary specialties from the area’s top restaurants.

Former Lions linebacker and Circle House Coffee Owner Stephen Tulloch will be out offering some coffee to visitors.
