SUMMARY:Glen Arbor's Celebrate America 4th of July Parade
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate America on the 4th of July with floats and vintage cars\,\nas they parade from Glen Haven to Glen Arbor.\nThe 2025 Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshall is Ed Ricker. Ed’s Cadillac has carried the 4th of July parade Grand Marshall’s for many years. Following the unexpected passing of Ed\, the Township honors his memory by naming him the 2025 parade Grand Marshall. This annual community parade is open to anyone who wants to celebrate the founding of our great country on its birthday.

The parade begins at noon when vehicles will proceed slowly toward Glen Arbor. \nWalkers should gather on Forest Haven Road and M-109 (near the Christian Science Church) and are asked not to join the parade until the last parade vehicle passes Forest Haven Road. A member of the volunteer parade staff will help organize the walkers and indicate when it’s time for each group to proceed. A vehicle from the Glen Lake Fire Department will stop to let the walkers in and will follow\nbehind the last group. \nSafety is of the utmost importance! Please help keep yourself and others safe. Children (and adults) should not enter the street. Please follow the guidance from the “broom crew” which is comprised of volunteers who “broom” candy from the street toward the crowd.
