Yankee Doodle Day
Saturday, June 19, 2021
This year's family-friendly community event will include a parade in the morning and then music and fireworks in the evening.
This beautiful six acre park is located right on the Grand River and is only a short five minute walk southeast of downtown.
PARKING: There are several parking spots along River Street as well as city parking lots located downtown. A limited number of handicap parking will be available at Jaycee Park.
There are many locations throughout the parade route to get a great view of the parade entries.
Parade participation is FREE to all organizations and groups EXCEPT those participants running for or currently holding an Elected Office position, which have a minimum fee payable at the time of registration.
Organizations/groups must register in advance, and registration forms will be reviewed and approved. The Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce reserves the right to deny any registration form. All applicants, sponsors, and participants are subject to approval by the GLACC Board of Directors.
The Grand Ledge Chamber of Commerce coordinates this parade on behalf of the Grand Ledge community and area businesses. We are committed to providing a safe and exciting event, and require parade participants to comply with our policies.
The fireworks will be set off on Island Park at dusk, and they will be visible from anywhere in downtown Grand Ledge, including from Jaycee Park.
Bridge Street will be shut down so people can watch the fireworks from the bridge.
If the weather looks inclement, the Chamber will be monitoring the weather forecast closely throughout the day and will update the via the Facebook page.
