It will proceed southeast on Monroe Center to Division. From Division Street, the parade route will head east on Fulton, then into Veterans Memorial Park via East Park Place.
The parade will consist of groups and organizations such as American Legion, VFW, Amvets posts and many others, and will be led by the Grand Rapids Police Department’s Honor Guard.
