Poutine Week 2026
September 16 - 27
Grand Rapids' Cheesiest Tradition Returns.
Michigan Street Poutine Week is back for its sixth year — and we’re bringing the heat (and the gravy) to more spots, more plates, and more reasons to loosen your belt. For 12 days, the restaurants of Michigan Street go head-to-head with their wildest takes on the ultimate comfort dish. From classic curds-and-gravy purists to boundary-pushing flavor mashups, there’s a poutine out there with your name on it.
Participating restaurants and menus will be announced soon. Follow us on social so you don’t miss the reveal.
