Yankee Doodle Day & Fireworks

June 22, 2024 - Jaycee Park

Don't miss Yankee Doodle Day, a one day celebration with a special salute to the United States Military. Also an incredible Fireworks Display at dusk.  The fireworks will be set off from the Island. See numerous entertainment on the Rotary Club Stage. This year's family-friendly community event will include various activities throughout the day, including a parade, music, arts and crafts show, and fireworks. This beautiful six-acre park is located right on the Grand River and is only a short five-minute walk southeast of downtown Grand Ledge.  

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. There are also several other great places to watch them. 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.

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.
