Why Kalamazoo?
If you’re looking for a unique setting to host your meeting or event, Kalamazoo has you covered, indoors and out. We’re experienced in a variety of types of events and have everything from traditional hotel banquet spaces, to festival sites and stadiums, charming patio spaces, elegant theatres, and even the opportunity to gather next to a rare SR-71 Blackbird at the Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum.
Discover Kalamazoo has expert planners ready to help you find your perfect venue and make your planning hassle-free. True hospitality is second nature here as we work to create a custom, memorable experience for you and your attendees.
Holding a meeting in Kalamazoo means plenty of options for your attendees’ downtime along with great local vendors to elevate your event. Downtown Kalamazoo boasts the nation’s first outdoor pedestrian mall, complete with unique restaurants, breweries, shops, DIY experiences, and live entertainment. Not far from downtown are some of the most bucket list worthy attractions, including the Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum, Kalamazoo Nature Center, and Gilmore Car Museum---North America’s largest automobile museum---to name a few.
Location
Kalamazoo occupies a strategic location for meetings, conventions and events. Located in the southwest part of Michigan, Kalamazoo is within a two-hour drive of Detroit or Chicago and an hour drive from Grand Rapids or Lansing. A short 30-mile drive from downtown Kalamazoo will have you standing on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan.
Meeting Facilities
Kalamazoo has thousands of square feet of meeting space, breakout rooms and exhibit space. We can accommodate groups from three to 3,000 in our area hotels, specialty properties and attractions.
What to do
When you visit Kalamazoo, you’ll find a vibrant community that welcomes curiosity. Whether it’s the hum of creativity in our art scene, the peace of a quiet trail, or the opportunity for a hands-on experience, Kalamazoo is a place that sparks something in everyone. Expand your horizons and visit the world-class Air Zoo aerospace and science museum or marvel at classic vehicles at the Gilmore Car Museum. Wander through our historic pedestrian mall, discovering local flavors and hidden treasures. And when you’re ready to recharge, the lakes, trails, and parks of Kalamazoo County are waiting for you. Kalamazoo is where city energy meets laid-back charm. So what’ll it be? Morning hike through natural wonder? Lunch and a pint at Bell’s Brewery? Fun awaits you in Kalamazoo!
