The 4th of July is an annual celebration in East Grand Rapids as well as an all day community affair!  The day begins with a parade of various school and community organizations showing their community pride.

Immediately following the parade, the fun begins at John Collins Park on Reeds Lake.  Concessions will be available along with multiple attractions for kids of all ages, including inflatables, games, clown shows and air brush tattoos.

The afternoon in the park is highlighted by a water ski show on Reeds Lake leading into a near-twilight musical performance by the Grand Rapids Federation of Muscians.  At dusk, a fantastic fireworks display over the water completes the day!
