Grand Haven, MI (WGHN) – The City of Grand Haven invites the public to place blankets, chairs and other spot-marking materials on all public property to reserve space for the parade and fireworks after 12:01 a.m. on Friday, August 4, 2023.
City crews will remove materials placed before midnight.
You’re being asked to remember that no plastic tarps, duct tape, rocks, stakes, sandbags or spray paint are allowed for reserving spots. Plastic tarps suffocate and kill the grass. Rocks and stakes present a tripping hazard. All plastic tarps, duct tape, rocks, or stakes placed on any public park or property at any time will be removed by the City of Grand Haven.
Please do not mark spots on sidewalks, boardwalks or parking lots for blanket placement or chairs.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s patrol will clear the seawall of all boat traffic on Saturday, August 5, 2023, at noon. No mooring will be allowed along the seawall after that time. Boats may moor on the seawall after 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, August 6, 2023. Boaters should be aware that all vessels moored along the seawall during the Coast Guard Festival, Friday, July 28th – August 5th, must be registered at the Municipal Marina and obtain an overnight mooring permit. There is a $60 charge per day for the permit with a 7-day stay.
Rafting will be limited to only three vessels from the seawall. Any vessel moored or rafted on the seawall that is NOT registered during these dates will be asked to leave.
