Our entirely new and expanded Autumn Weekends programming on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays adds live music, seasonal food and beverage offerings, and daytime activities that encourage guests to gather, explore, and make memories together.  
  
Celebrate the richness of the harvest season at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, where autumn weekends are filled with hands-on discovery, seasonal flavors, and opportunities to gather. Inspired by the traditions of the fall harvest, this series invites guests of all ages to explore, play and connect across the campus. You’ll find a variety of activities—for a variety of ages and activity levels!— throughout our grounds. Attend one event, all events or as many events as you like, as part of your autumn fun.
