GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Grand Rapids Veterans Day Parade steps off at 6 p.m. today, Wednesday, Nov. 11, in downtown Grand Rapids, hosted by Kent County’s United Veterans Council.
The procession starts at Division Avenue and Pearl Street, moves south on Division to Fulton Street, then turns north on Park Place and finishes inside Veterans Memorial Park. A short remembrance program will follow in the park. Mirelle Luecke, who curates work at the Ford presidential library and museum, will give the keynote.
The council is asking veterans, people now serving and other supporters to line the route. The gathering is an annual downtown event on the federal holiday, and the remembrance program will be held in the park at the end of the march. Questions can be directed to parade coordinator Jesse Pahman, the council said. The holiday honors people who served in the military.
