An annual summer celebration series returns to Zeeland in July with four nights of family-friendly fun.
Here’s everything you need to know:
What is Zeelmania?
Zeelmania is a “street fair for the entire community,” organizers wrote in a release. It brings live performances, music, balloon art, a petting zoo, food trucks and weekly themed events to downtown Zeeland.
When does Zeelmania take place?
Zeelmania runs 6-8 p.m. July 7, 14, 21 and 28 along Main Avenue in Zeeland.
What are the weekly themes for Zeelmania?
Each week of Zeelmania has a different theme. They include Beach Bash on July 7; Camp Zeelmania on July 14; Heroes Night on July 21; and Sports Mania on July 28.
Beach Bash will begin with the annual “color explosion” at 6 p.m. — featuring non-toxic, non-stain color powder. Attendees are encouraged to wear something white that can get dirty. Activities will include an inflatable course, face painting, a foam party and more.
Camp Zeelmania will have giant inflatables, archery, marshmallow roasting, ice cream and more.
Heroes Night will celebrate local heroes like police officers and firefighters. The evening will include games, prizes and other experiences.
