The 2025 Series will take place Thursday evenings from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm from June 12 through August 14. During the Gentex Street Performer Series, the entire community is invited to enjoy the sights and sounds of 25 different artists and groups while they perform free for the public throughout Downtown Holland!
