GOLD SANTA WALKS AND PUMPKINS!

Stuff Happening This Week! By Jerome Skinly

Hi! I'm Jerome and I write for Jape News! It’s May 25th, 2026 today. My mom said it’s important to tell people about fun stuff that’s coming up, so here it is!

There’s a LOT of stuff happening later this year. Like, way later. Not this week, but still!

First, in Grand Rapids, there's gonna be a Gold Rush thing on June 8th. It's at a place that sells yummy grape juice for grown-ups, called Cooper's Hawk. I think maybe they'll pretend to find gold? That would be cool.

Then, way WAY later, on October 24th and 30th, there are… bar crawls. My mom says that's where grown-ups walk around and go to different places. It sounds like a long walk! They’re at places called The Tin Can and Kusterer Brauhaus. Halloween is around then, so maybe it's a Halloween walk?

And even MORE later, on December 12th, is SantaCon! That's when people dress up like Santa! I LOVE Santa! It's another bar crawl, though, so Santa is probably a grown-up Santa.

There’s stuff in Kalamazoo too! On July 4th, there's a bar crawl and a Napkin Wars Party. I don't know what that is but it sounds messy. And then on November 14th there’s a Fall Festival! That means leaves and pumpkins!

So, there's not a holiday right this week, but there's a lot of fun stuff coming! You should remember these dates if you're a grown-up! Or ask your grown-up to remember for you. Bye!
