Cedar Springs has been a lumber town in western Michigan since the mid-19th century. In Kent County north of Grand Rapids, it developed around cedar trees and mineral springs, while Cedar Creek remains a defining feature of the local setting. The town’s best-known tradition is the Red Flannel Festival, held each autumn since 1939 and linked to a local tale about red flannel underwear. The Fred Meijer White Pine Trail crosses Cedar Springs on the route of the former Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad, placing the community on one of Michigan’s long-distance rail trails.
