Gilda’s LaughFest Announces March Dates For 2015
The fifth annual Gilda's LaughFest will continue to bring hilarity to Grand Rapids when we need it the most -- right at the end of winter.
The community-wide festival of laughter announced this morning the event will return March 5-15, 2015.
“We are excited as we ramp-up efforts for our fifth year,” said Joanne Roehm, festival director of LaughFest. “Last year more than 50,000 individuals purchased tickets to LaughFest. We are happy with the results for LaughFest, but we are extremely pleased to show the economic impact LaughFest has created for Grand Rapids and the region."
The impact she's referring to is the results of a study conducted by Grand Valley State University which shows that LaughFest created a $3.2 million economic impact on the region.
