Welcome to the Coopersville Area Chamber of Commerce : Coopersville Michigan

The covered pavilion in the North Main Street parking lot is the location of the Coopersville Farmer’s Market. Opening Day at the Market is held annually on the first Wednesday of May and features door prizes and other “goodies” as a way of welcoming all our loyal customers back for another season. Fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers – both annual and perennials, bedding plants, fresh baked goods, and Stanley products are among the favorites you’ll find every Wednesday from May through the end of October. Hours of the market are from 8:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.. Farmers’ Market is sponsored by the Coopersville Downtown Development Authority.

The Annual Coopersville Santa Claus Parade celebrates its 29th anniversary on Friday, December 4th, 2009.

One of the original night-time parades in Michigan, this annual event begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. Professional and amateur floats, decorated vehicles and firetrucks compete for prizes as they travel along Main Street in the Historic Downtown District of Coopersville.

Guests are invited to a free ride on the Coopersville & Marne Railway Shuttle from the school campus to the downtown area. After their return ride they are invited to have free refreshments while the children have a visit with Santa.

Sponsoring this event is just one of the ways the members of the Coopersville Area Chamber of Commerce says “Thank You” to the community for their support.
