2010 Sizzlin’ Summer Concerts on the Lowell Michigan Showboat
Lowell is a pretty little city on the Flat River just east of Ada &
Grand Rapids. In fact, it takes us about fifteen minutes to drive there,

wheelchair accessible, free parking, there is bleacher seating or bring

vendors along the Riverwalk plaza.

complicate parking and traffic as it only goes one way – east – at this point.
