What’s Happening Around Kalamazoo & Portage This Weekend?

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, here are a few things going on around town. 👇

🌿 Kalamazoo Home & Garden Expo
📍 Kalamazoo County Expo Center
📅 March 13–15

Thinking about spring projects? This is one of the biggest home shows in Southwest Michigan. You’ll find landscaping ideas, remodeling inspiration, gardening vendors, and a lot of local experts who can help you plan your next project.

🍀 St. Patrick’s Day Bar Crawl – Downtown Kalamazoo
📅 Saturday

Downtown should be pretty lively Saturday night as several local bars host St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Expect drink specials, music, and plenty of people dressed in green.

🖥 Kalamazoo Public Library Tech Days
📍 Central Branch
📅 March 14 & 16

Need help with your phone, laptop, or tablet? Library staff and volunteers will be helping people learn about devices, apps, and digital tools.

🚶 Portage Creek Trails
If the weather cooperates, this weekend might be a great time to get outside. The Portage Creek trails and Bicentennial Park paths are starting to see walkers, runners, and early signs of spring.

Now I’m curious…

👉 What’s YOUR weekend plan around Kalamazoo or Portage?
