Celebration on the Grand is almost here! Make plans now to head downtown on September 7th and 8th for free concerts, a rubber duck race on the Grand River (the Ducky Dash), and some of the best fireworks around!

The festivities kick off Friday, September 7, with the Taste of Downtown, where you can sample delicious food from downtown restaurants like Peppino’s and Stoner’s Tacos. The vendors will be near the Rosa Parks Circle stage and are open from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and again in the evening from 5:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. This year, beer will be served in a confined area for adults.
