On Wednesday, November 11 beginning at 6 p.m., members of the public are invited to attend the parade in downtown Grand Rapids, with the ceremony taking place at Veterans Memorial Park after the parade's conclusion. The route begins at Division Ave. and Pearl St.
This year's Ceremony will feature a keynote address from Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum supervisory curator Dr. Mirelle Luecke.
