On the Town Magazine is the oldest (over 30 years old) and most well-known comprehensive monthly arts, events and entertainment guide in West Michigan, with the largest distribution of all the local monthly magazines. We boast a monthly readership of over 63,000, and have more than 400 distribution locations throughout greater Grand Rapids and the Lakeshore (Muskegon to Saugatuck). Our locations include coffee shops, retail stores, restaurants, etc. and we also distribute to the most affluent zip codes through direct home delivery in EGR, Ada, Cascade & Forest Hills.
