Downtown Holland’s annual Girlfriends Weekend will return this year from March 5-7 but with changes in place to ensure public safety.
During Girlfriends Weekend, women are invited to spend three full days shopping, dining, wining and indulging in downtown Holland with their best friends. Unlike previous years, there are no large group events or a group Sunday brunch planned as part of this year’s Girlfriends Weekend to help protect the health and safety of attendees.
Participating shops and restaurants will be operating under current occupancy restrictions as mandated by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and attendees will be required to wear masks in all stores and restaurants and to practice safe social distancing. Attendees must also cancel their registration for a full refund if they are feeling unwell, have been exposed to COVID-19 in the last 14 days or currently are awaiting COVID-19 test resul
